by

Rapidly?

The U.S. is sending a carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean to bolster deterrence in the region and “will be rapidly providing the Israel Defense Forces with additional equipment and resources, including munitions,” according to a statement from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Sunday.

The U.S. will also boost its F-35, F-15, F-16 and A-10 fighter squadrons in the region, according to the defense secretary.

“The U.S. maintains ready forces globally to further reinforce this deterrence posture if required,” he said.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the Ford carrier strike group to sail to the Eastern Mediterranean to be ready to assist Israel after the attack by Hamas. Americans were reported to be among those killed and missing.
