Shannon Kent was killed by a suicide bomber. Israel had nothing to do with this.

On January 16, 2019, Kent was part of a group that attended a meeting with local military officials and stopped at a local restaurant frequented by U.S. personnel, the Palace of the Princes in Manbij, Syria, when a man wearing a suicide vest walked by outside and detonated his device.[11][12] The area was in a northern Syria buffer zone between Kurdish fighters and Turkish forces that had been regarded as a stable area.[12] Kent was killed along with three other Americans who were in Syria as part of Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve.[7][11][13]

Is Trump now doing what Israel wants? For months Israel followed Trump dictates about the hostages, about ceasefire and more.

Yes, the war is not justified but to blame Israel, welcome to the world of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.
