O British government announced this Thursday, the 12th, the deployment to Israel of two Royal Navy ships of the RFA Argus model, the Poseidon P8 spy plane (how many units is currently unknown) and 100 marines.
Relief supplies will leave the British Isles tomorrow.
According to the UK, the aim is to monitor any efforts to transfer weapons from countries such as Iran or Russia to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Western powers fear that the terrorist group will join the Hamas radicals.
Earlier this week, the US aircraft carrier Gerald Ford arrived in the eastern Mediterranean with a cruiser and four destroyers.
According to the White House, the equipment was intended to “deter any intervener from attempting to escalate the situation or escalate the war.”
