The Pentagon disclosed in March that elements of the 82nd Airborne were deploying to the Middle East, but not that some were headed to Israel.
An Army deployment order obtained by Ken Klippenstein shows troops from the 2nd Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment were sent to Israel on temporary duty in April 2026.
A military source says the deployment is linked to new U.S.-Israeli contingency plans involving potential operations against Iran, including seizing Kharg Island.
The 82nd Airborne, the Army’s rapid-response force, is trained for airborne assaults and "forced entry" missions.
Publicly, the Pentagon only said the troops were deploying to CENTCOM, leading many to assume they were headed to bases in Kuwait or Qatar. Officials never acknowledged the Israel deployment.

The US has quietly deployed 82nd Airborne paratroopers to Israel, per deployment order leaked to me.
The deployment is tied to new US-Israel joint contingency plans for seizing Kharg Island and carving out coastal territory inside Iran.

Another Russian military locomotive hit in Bryansk. That’s three in four days.
The real damage isn’t just the train. A disabled locomotive can block an entire rail line, delaying ammunition, fuel, equipment and troop movements across the network until it is cleared.
Wars run on logistics. Ukraine keeps finding ways to make Russia’s run a little slower. 🇺🇦
Actually cannot believe this is a real New York Times story.
Apparently debt collectors are having a tough time financially right now — because many of them are being called by other debt collectors.
FACT: Trump cut funding to stop the spread of screwworms. Then he signed an executive order allowing 100,000 metric tons of beef from Argentina into the U.S. per year. America eradicated screwworms in 1966, while Argentina has been struggling with them for well over a century.
UPDATE: New World Screwworm is no longer contained to Texas.
USDA says that the infested dog announced earlier today lives in Lea County, New Mexico and will be reclassified as the first detection in that state.
And now a goat in Gillespie County, TX, has also been confirmed.

Ukrainian forces have now begun targeting Russian logistical trains on the southern frontlines with drone strikes, since the Russian army relies on trains to deliver the bulk of supplies from Crimea to Kherson region this is causing significant disruption.
WATCH: Massive ammunition depot explodes in Russia's Belgorod region.
Preliminary reports suggest the blast was caused by a violation of storage and transport safety rules for explosives.
Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He's just the worst symptom.
The disease is the system that allows corporations, special interests, and billionaires to buy and sell politicians to rig the system against us.
It's the reason we pay more for the stuff we gotta buy, get paid less for the work we do, and watch as our tax dollars buy bombs and tanks for other countries rather than schools and healthcare for our own.
If we're serious about taking it on, we need to get money out of politics, put money in your pockets, and pass Medicare for All.
