In building Gaza's new port, US forces face varied threats

The Pentagon plans to deploy 1000 U.S. troops to build a floating pier in the eastern Mediterranean to aid Gazans with food, medicine, and water. The mission faces potential threats from Hezbollah and other militant groups, though assessments suggest limited engagement. Israeli military operations have weakened Hamas, reducing threats to the aid mission. The logistics involve planning for weeks, with potential locations in Gaza City and the Netzarim Corridor. The mission aims to provide over two million meals daily, but the timeline raises concerns about the urgency of aid delivery.
