The US is moving quickly to boost Israel’s military. A look at what assistance it’s providing

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 11:55:34 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Within hours of the horrific attack by Hamas, the U.S. began moving warships and aircraft to the region to be ready to provide Israel with whatever it needs to respond. A second U.S. carrier strike group departs from Norfolk, Virginia, on Friday. Scores of aircraft are heading to U.S. military bases around the Middle East. And special operations forces are now assisting Israel’s military in planning and intelligence. The buildup reflects U.S. concern that the deadly fighting between Hamas and Israel could escalate into a more dangerous regional conflict. So the primary mission for those ships and warplanes for now is to establish a force presence that deters Hezbollah, Iran or others from taking advantage of the situation. But the forces the U.S. sent are capable of more than that.The U.S. is also expediting the shipment of munitions and interceptors for Israel’s fight against Hamas.A look at what weapons and options the U.S. military could provide: WEA...

ANÁLISIS | ¿Cómo consigue Hamas sus armas? Una mezcla de improvisación, ingenio y un benefactor extranjero clave.

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 11:55:34 GMT

(CNN) — La brutal embestida del grupo extremista islamista Hamas contra Israel el pasado fin de semana incluyó miles de cohetes y misiles, drones que lanzaban explosivos y un número incalculable de armas ligeras y munición.Pero el ataque se lanzó desde el enclave de Gaza, gobernado por Hamas, una franja de 360 kilómetros cuadrados de costa mediterránea que limita por dos lados con Israel y por uno con Egipto.Es una zona pobre, densamente poblada y con pocos recursos.Y ha estado casi completamente aislada del resto del mundo desde hace casi 17 años, cuando Hamas se hizo con su control, lo que llevó a Israel y Egipto a imponer un estricto asedio al territorio, que continúa.Israel también mantiene un bloqueo aéreo y naval sobre Gaza, así como un amplio dispositivo de vigilancia.Lo que nos lleva a preguntarnos: ¿Cómo ha conseguido Hamas acumular la cantidad de armamento que le ha permitido llevar a cabo ataques coordinados que han causado más de 1.200 muertos en Israel y miles de ...
