This is the best summary I could come up with:
The statements come as attacks against US forces have spiked in the wake of a widening conflict between the Islamist terror organization Hamas and the Israeli military.
Israel has already been tackling Iran-backed Hezbollah militants at its border with Lebanon, and Tehran is also a key ally of Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza.
Last week, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched more than a dozen drones and four cruise missiles at a US warship in the region, all of which were downed by the US vessel.
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have responded with a devastating counteroffensive that Palestinian officials claim has killed more than 4,700 people.
As a result, the US, a staunch ally of Israel, quickly dispatched heavy naval power — including two aircraft carriers and support ships — to the region.
The Pentagon has also deployed some 2,000 marines to the region and will soon be sending Thermal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and Patriot air-defense system battalions as well.
