US Military Deploys Vast Arsenal to Middle East - CBN NewsWatch: August 12, 202

JERUSALEM, Israel – The Israeli military remains on high alert in anticipation of an attack by Hezbollah, Iran, and Tehran's other proxies. One official said the waiting could last for days. In light of the expected attack, the U.S. is deploying an unprecedented array of military assets to the region.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the guided-missile submarine USS Georgia to the Middle East and ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier group to increase its speed to the region.

Austin talked with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant who told Israel Defense Forces recruits they are ready.

"You should know this – that whoever will harm us in a way that he has not acted in the past is also likely to get hit by us in a way that we have not acted in the past – and the IDF has a significant and strong capability," Gallant cautioned.
