Even though American forces are already on the ground in Israel conducting unspecified operations as the Israel Defense Force steps up its ground invasion of Gaza after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror massacre, military analysts expect U.S. troops to play just a supporting role – if Iran remains out of the fray.
