US Drones Surveil Gaza To Monitor Possible Israeli Ceasefire Violations

JD Vance recently declared that US officials are in Israel ‘to advance the ceasefire, not monitor a toddler’

The US military is operating surveillance drones over the Gaza Strip to monitor compliance with what officials described as a “fragile” ceasefire, the New York Times (NYT) reported on 25 October.

According to Israeli and US officials, the operation aims to verify that both Hamas and Israel are adhering to the terms of the truce. The aircraft are controlled from a newly established US command center in Kiryat Gat.

Two Israeli military officials and one US defense official confirmed that the flights are being conducted with Israel’s consent, characterizing them as part of Washington’s broader effort to maintain “independent oversight” rather than relying solely on Israeli reporting.

Former US ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro described the move as “a very intrusive form of American monitoring on a front where Israel faces an active threat.”

He added, “If there were full transparency and complete trust between Israel and the United States, this wouldn’t be necessary. But clearly, Washington wants to prevent any misunderstandings.”
