"Pentagon Deploys World's Largest Warship to Bolster Israel in Conflict with Hamas"

The Pentagon is working with U.S. defense companies to expedite the delivery of pending weapon orders to Israel as violence escalates in the region following a terror attack by Hamas. Military cargo planes carrying security assistance have already departed the U.S. en route to Israel. Specific details of the assistance provided were not disclosed. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the movement of U.S. firepower closer to the region to bolster Israeli security. The conflict has claimed the lives of over 1,300 people, including 11 U.S. citizens. President Joe Biden has directed his team to work with Israeli counterparts on every aspect of the hostage crisis. U.S. stocks largely shrugged off concerns from the Israel-Hamas war.
