The operation, conducted by Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades from Gaza, has inflicted significant losses on israel, with reports of 700 fatalities and over 2,100 wounded.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has confirmed the deployment of the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford to the Eastern Mediterranean as part of this support initiative.
A statement from the White House has further underscored U.S. President Joe Biden's directive to provide "additional support" to israel in response to the ongoing Al-Aqsa Flood operation.
The deployment of US warships and aircraft is likely to further escalate the conflict between the zionist regime and Palestine.
It is also likely to draw criticism from the international community, which has called for an end to the violence and a peaceful resolution to the conflict. (ILKHA)
