🇺🇸/🇮🇱 The current deployment of U.S. Naval forces in the Middle East in support of Israel

🇮🇱/🇺🇸 According to U.S. journalist David Frum, no previous US administration ever, has deployed more US strength in support of Israel than Biden-Harris.

The next runner-up is Nixon in 1973, and it's not a close second.

Al-Malkiyya was a Palestinian/Lebanese Shiite village, one of seven Shia villages that ended up on the Palestinian side of the border when the British and French finished carving up al-Sham in 1924. About 400 people lived in Malkiyya on the eve of the Nakba.

During the 1948 war, control of the village switched between the warring parties several times, until it was eventually captured by the IDF during Operation Hiram, in October 1948.

Today, the site of the village is within a closed military area (even before the current war).
Kibbutz Malkia was established on the village's land.
