Germany has deployed elite special forces to Cyprus, including a special naval unit called “combat swimmers”, which could be used in military operations in the Gaza Strip or Lebanon.

According to the publication, it is possible to conduct a naval operation with the participation of Navy special forces. In addition, members of the special police unit involved in the release of hostages have been mobilized. Also, military transport aircraft of the Bundeswehr are concentrated in Cyprus, and military ammunition is also transferred here.

The newspaper’s source in the German government said that the German authorities are “at a low start” and are ready for any development of events.

The target of a potential operation by German special forces could be the release of hostages taken by Hamas militants, as well as the evacuation of all German citizens from the Gaza Strip or Lebanon.

Earlier, the White House allowed for the scenario of sending American troops to the Gaza Strip. According to the representative of the Security Council under the administration of US President John Kirby, no options should be excluded when it comes to the release of American citizens. At the same time, he added that at the moment there are no plans to send troops to the Palestinian enclave.

In turn, the media wrote last week that Israel had postponed the ground operation in the Gaza Strip due to unfavorable weather conditions. It was originally planned that it would begin on October 14-15.

Previously it was reported that the US made two aircraft carriers to the Eastern Mediterranean. The decision to transfer warships to the region accepted and Great Britain.
