A U.S. military deployment order obtained by journalist Ken Klippenstein reveals that soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division have been sent to Israel on a temporary mission. A military source says the deployment is linked to new U.S.-Israel emergency plans that include potential operations against Iran, including the seizure of an island. The Pentagon disclosed in March that units from the 82nd were heading to the Middle East but did not specify that some were bound for Israel.
