TEL AVIV — The U.S. military has arrived in Israel to prepare for the visit of President George Bush.


The sources said Bush would be accompanied by a huge military force during his visit to Israel and tour of the Middle East. They said the president would be supported by at least four air transports that would contain special equipment as well as nearly 2,000 troops and bodyguards.
Officials said police would deploy 3,500 officers and army troops to protect Bush. They said large areas of Jerusalem would be closed to traffic during Bush's visit.
