The U.S. is more involved in Gaza than previously known. The U.S. military is flying surveillance drones over the Gaza strip to apparently to aid in hostage recovery efforts. While Israel frequently conducts reconnaissance flights over Gaza, U.S. defense officials said it was believed to be the first time that U.S. drones have flown missions over Gaza. Israel is in the early stages of a ground invasion in Gaza and says Hamas is holding more than 240 hostages, 10 are believed to be Americans. The flights are concentrated in southern Gaza approximately 15 miles from the Israeli military’s initial push in the north.

The article sandwiches shocking information about the hostages in the middle of information given where as I think that information could have been apart of the lead. Toward the end the article talks about the type of drones used and how sophisticated they are. The design of the drown is explained in detail. This article had short paragraphs and each had a well rounded topic. The inverted triangle method was used. I think this article was written well.
