After Hezbollah's announcement of joining the Israel-Hamas war, even America seems to be in fear. This extremist organization of Lebanon has already entangled with Israel. The army has been attacked and sporadic air attacks are taking place from both sides. Meanwhile, America is sending a second destroyer warship to help the Israeli army. They will be deployed around Israel. This is a strike type warship.
The Pentagon said that America decided to send a second warship to prevent Hezbollah or Iran from joining hands with Hamas. Orders for deployment have been given. The Eisenhower Strike Group was to take part in a previously scheduled exercise in the US European Command area. Meanwhile, the Pentagon changed its schedule and asked it to go towards the Middle East, where it is to be deployed in the Mediterranean Sea with the Gerald Ford Strike Group. US President Joe Biden is continuously talking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The two leaders have held talks five times so far. Netanyahu is giving moment-to-moment information to Biden.
Hezbollah attacked Israeli army checkpost
Hezbollah has claimed yesterday that its fighters have attacked five Israeli outposts in the disputed area. The Shebaa Farms area is considered disputed between Israel and Lebanon, which is claimed by Israel. Even before this, Hezbollah has targeted the Israeli army. This is an Iran-backed militia group, which has openly declared support for Hamas. Iran has also warned Israel to stop attacks and the issue of Palestine is also being discussed in Arab countries.
Why is America sending warships?
America had deployed a warship named Gerald in the north of the Mediterranean Sea immediately after the war started. Israel is located in this northern coastal area of the Mediterranean Sea. Now for the security of this Jewish country, the Pentagon has dispatched the USS Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group. US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin said that he has ordered the strike group to take up their positions in the north in the Mediterranean Sea, so that this war can be prevented from escalating. Eisenhower's association with Gerald would increase the strength of the Israeli army and send a strong message to the other side.
