> After four Salvadoran military aviation technicians went missing in a gang ambush in Haiti, President Nayib Bukele deployed 2,000 troops and warned that El Salvador would use overwhelming force if the men were not returned alive. Haiti’s transitional government backs the deployment, while rights advocates and gang leaders warn escalation could worsen civilian suffering.
