Following the attacks on Israel in October, the US military has deployed the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the eastern Mediterranean.
Earlier, it became known that Yemeni Houthi rebels with the help of air defense shot down the US drone MQ9.
The Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7. The next day, the Jewish government launched a targeted military retaliation and imposed a complete blockade on the Gaza Strip, home to some 2 million Palestinians. On October 27, Tel Aviv started a large-scale ground incursion into Gaza.
