US denies claims of American troops participating in Israeli operation

Information about the participation of American soldiers in Israel's ground operation in the Gaza Strip is fake, a representative of the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) told RIA Novosti.

Earlier, the Iranian state agency Tasnim, citing a source, wrote that about five thousand American soldiers participated in the Israeli ground operation against the Gaza Strip on the night of Friday to Saturday.

“Definitely misinformation,” he said.
