US sends CENTCOM troops to Israel for Trump-brokered Hamas ceasefire monitoring

U.S. service members will arrive in Israel by Sunday to oversee the implementation of the ceasefire with Hamas, Fox News has learned. 

U.S. forces from the Central Command (CENTCOM) will establish the civil-military command center as the ceasefire begins, according to a top U.S. official. 

Some of the service members are coming from the U.S., and some were already in the region. Most are with the Army. 

They are experts in logistics, security, engineering and transportation.

Witkoff reportedly told mediators he could have a command center to monitor the ceasefire set up within 2½ weeks.

CENTCOM’s involvement in overseeing the ceasefire alongside Qatar and Turkey provided significant confidence to the negotiating groups, as reported by participants in the discussions.
