The US is moving naval ships and aircraft carriers closer to Israel amid Hamas' unprecedented attack that has killed over 600 Israelis so far. A US military official stated this, as President Biden affirmed Israel's right to defend itself and directed additional support. The White House said Biden and Vice President Harris were briefed by officials and will keep receiving updates, while remaining in contact with Israel and regional counterparts. Earlier, Secretary of State Blinken said the US is considering Israeli requests for more military aid. Biden has ordered unspecified extra support for Israel to face this terrorist assault, as the US bolsters naval presence in solidarity against Hamas' onslaught. The moves showcase US backing for its ally during the crisis.
