..."Following the drone interceptions at American bases on Wednesday, U.S. Central Command said it was a time of "heightened alert" and that "we are vigilantly monitoring the situation in Iraq and the region."
"U.S. forces will defend U.S. and coalition forces against any threat," it added in a statement, the AP reported. Newsweek has contacted Central Command for comment.
On Wednesday, U.S. President Joe Biden visited Israel in a show of support for its fight against Hamas militants.
Biden urged Israel to adopt a proportional response and said that the "vast majority of Palestinians are not Hamas."
"Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people," the president said.
An Israeli invasion of Gaza is yet to start as part of "Operation Swords of Iron." However, an unnamed regional security official told Reuters there was alarm in the region that Israel did not have an endgame for Gaza. "They have no exit strategy for the day after."
