A wider Middle East war grew more likely Sunday as Israel pounded Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip and struck alleged militants in the West Bank and Syria.
Smoke rises following an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip, as seen from southern Israel, Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023.
With new hot spots popping up across the region on an almost daily basis, top Biden administration officials now openly concede that escalation seems all but certain. The Eisenhower will be the second U.S. carrier strike group in the Middle East. The USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group is already in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The addition of the Eisenhower, Mr. Austin said, will bolster American military capabilities in the theater.
Iran is Hamas’ chief financial backer. Tehran also helps bankroll Hezbollah, a larger and much more capable militant group based in Lebanon, to Israel’s north. Hezbollah so far hasn’t fully entered the fight against Israel, though the two sides have traded periodic strikes in the two weeks since Oct. 7.
