Germany has granted the Israeli occupation approval to utilize two Heron TP combat drones in its aggression on Palestine amid Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Reuters cited a German defense source as saying, confirming a Spiegel magazine report published earlier.

According to the source, Germany had previously leased five of these drones from "Israel's" IAI arms manufacturer, with two of them still stationed in occupied Palestinian lands for training German drone operators.

On Wednesday, Spiegel indicated that German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius reportedly gave the green light for "Israel" to utilize the drones against Palestine, pointing out that following the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Food, the 16 German pilots in training were returning home.

A spokesperson from the German Defense Ministry in Berlin noted that she could not provide an immediate comment on the Spiegel report.

Confirming the US position as the Israeli occupation's biggest supporter, US President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that he ordered moving aircraft carrier Gerald Ford to the eastern Mediterranean to support the US naval presence in the Middle East amid the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza, Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, and escalating tensions between "Israel" and the Lebanese Resistance group Hezbollah.

"The Department of Defense has moved the USS Jr. Ford carrier strike group from the eastern Mediterranean and bolstered our fighter aircraft presence. We stand ready to move in additional assets as needed," Biden revealed after his administration pledged to send the naval vessel to help the Israeli occupation.

The US President on Sunday affirmed that the United States supports "Israel" and is committed to providing the necessary aid to ensure its continued aggression against the Palestinian Resistance.

He went on to call Operation Al-Aqsa Flood "sheer evil" while completely disregarding all the actions taken by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians.

Biden still failed to mention that the Israeli occupation was brutally killing civilians, using white phosphorus, and bombing religious sites and schools where people typically seek refuge in times of war.

It is noteworthy that as of Wednesday, "Israel's" death toll had reached 1,200, with over 2,700 settlers injured.

This comes as the Israeli occupation continues to commit dozens of massacres against the Palestinian people in Gaza, wiping entire neighborhoods and razing them to the ground, and cutting electricity and water off the besieged Strip amid the silence of the international community that is busy condemning Palestinian Resistance fighters attempting to liberate their occupied lands and prisoners -- a role which the international community miserably failed to play.

According to its latest figures, the Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that the number of Gazans killed in the Israeli aggression has risen to 1100 martyrs.
