According to AFP, a US Defense official expressed the US will most likely give "Israel" more Iron Dome receptors than the occupation originally requested.
During a conference call, the official expressed that the additional defense would be "above and beyond" what the Israelis ordered previously.
Furthermore, the source stated that the US is considering introducing tiny-diameter bombs as part of the Israeli military supplies for use in its relentless bombing of Gaza.
US military supplies to the Israelis, including weaponry, landed in occupied Palestine earlier this week.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revealed on Sunday, a day after the Palestinian Resistance initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Floods, that the Pentagon is moving ships and aircraft closer to the shores of occupied Palestine in support of "Israel".
According to the insider, the US fully expects to continue support to the occupation and respond to their requests.
On Tuesday, US President Joe Biden called Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, launched by Hamas, and the actions carried out during it as "sheer evil" while completely disregarding all the actions taken by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians.
"There are moments in this life - I mean this literally - when a pure unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world," he said during a speech from the White House. "This is an act of sheer evil."
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.
Biden supports 'Israel'
Biden on Sunday previously affirmed that the United States supports "Israel" and is committed to providing the necessary aid to ensure its continued aggression against the Palestinian Resistance.
"The United States stands with "Israel." We will not ever fail to have their back, we will make sure that they have the help their citizens need, and they can continue to defend themselves," Biden said during a press conference.
Biden further stated that he instructed his national security team to establish communication and cooperation channels between the US and Israeli counterparts, "military to military, intelligence to intelligence to diplomat to diplomat to make sure Israel has what it needs."
US asked 'Israel' to focus on Gaza, leave Hezbollah to them: Reports
The United States asked the Israeli occupation to focus on Gaza and leave them to deal with Hezbollah, Israeli media reported on Thursday amid stark tension within "Israel" with Gaza and with Lebanon.
The Americans "told us 'leave Lebanon up to us. We are here. You focus on Gaza and do what you must there, and we have your back. If Hezbollah starts engaging you from Lebanon, we will take care of them'," Israeli Channel 13 military affairs correspondent Alon Ben David said.
"It seems that the US is affecting Israeli decision-making or they are seeking to offer a solution to the Israeli floundering," he said.
Furthermore, the Israeli journalist asked whether the Israeli occupation forces should conduct a preliminary operation against Hezbollah in the North. "There are many voices in the army who are saying we are ready to do so more than ever with unparalleled support from the US."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to threaten Hezbollah and work in Gaza without being concerned about another front opening up against us," he underlined.
At the same time, many top Israeli military commanders rejected even the idea of going back to land operations in Gaza, while they also rejected the notion that air raids would lead to extensive damage to the capabilities of the Palestinian resistance due to the shortcomings of the Israeli occupation's intelligence when it comes to finding out the capabilities of the Resistance.
