Seems a question that should be asked is what (if any) cargo and/or passengers are on the flights inbound to Israel.
Humanitarian aid, arms/weapons, SpecOps Troops, helicopters?
Hostage Rescue is a top priority for not only Israel but for several other Nations.
Likewise, when we see cargo capable aircraft arriving in other places with origins from places like Iran....we should be curious about what they are transporting.
Also....with one US Navy Carrier near by and a second one being deployed there is going to be some question as to what assets naval forces will be available for operations yet unspecified or announced.
For much of that OpSec will be important for the opposing forces and intelligence capability will play a major role in how this all plays out.
The Playing Board is in place....and now all of the Playing Pieces are being arrayed.
How this turns out shall be very interesting.
Shall we see a very sophisticated and technologically equipped military force be able to effectively and efficiently deal with what shall probably become a house to house urban battle space where each room is a contested battle against a dedicated insurgent force?
