Israel Puts Military on High Alert as U.S. Sends Assets to Middle East
SUMMARY
Israel has raised its military to high alert for the first time this month, amid concerns over potential attacks from Iran and Hezbollah following the killings of militant leaders in Tehran and Beirut. Intelligence suggests that Iran and Hezbollah are preparing for possible retaliatory strikes, though the timing and likelihood remain uncertain. In response, the U.S. is sending a guided-missile submarine to the region and speeding up the deployment of a second aircraft carrier to bolster its presence. This escalation comes as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, with fears of a broader conflict involving Israel, Iran, and Hezbollah.
