WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- The United States is sending about 200 troops to Israel to "oversee" the Gaza ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, U.S. media reported Thursday.
The task force will "oversee, observe, make sure there are no violations" of the deal, a senior U.S. official told reporters.
Members of Egyptian, Qatari and Turkish armed forces would be embedded in the U.S. team, according to the official.
The task force will "not be in Gaza," another U.S. official said. Enditem
