Israel is preparing for a ground assault in Gaza following Hamas's attack on Saturday. Follow our live coverage.
The USS carrier strike group sent towards Israel as a deterrent measure towards hostile regional groups arrived Tuesday afternoon, the Pentagon announced. The USS Gerald R. Ford, an aircraft carrier, and its accompanying ships were operating in the Mediterranean when the Biden administration directed them towards the Middle East shortly after Hamas attacked Israel on Saturday.
“The arrival of these highly capable forces to the region is a strong signal of deterrence should any actor hostile to Israel consider trying to take advantage of this situation,” said Army Gen. Erik Kurilla, commander, U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for U.S. military operations in the Middle East, said in a statement. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, another carrier strike group, which was previously scheduled to travel to the Mediterranean Sea, is expected to leave the U.S.
