Following U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s announcement, the Ford carrier strike group is being deployed to Israel and is reportedly expected to arrive later today.
The primary focus is to assist Israel in its ongoing conflict with Hamas. This move could have implications for Lebanon due to its geographical proximity and intricate regional dynamics.
The conflict has already resulted in over 1,000 casualties, including Americans. The deployment aims to deter further escalation of regional conflicts, a concern Lebanon cannot afford to ignore.
Israel has officially declared war on Hamas, and the U.S. is increasing its military support, including additional Air Force fighter aircraft and resources.
