U.S. Moves Fighters Into Mediterranean in Response to Attack on Israel

In the wake of a multifront surprise attack on Israel by Islamic militant group Hamas that left an estimated more than 1,100 dead and thousands more wounded, the U.S. military is bolstering its air power and mobilizing forces into the region.

The move could mean as many as 20-25 U.S. F-35 and F-15 fighter jets will be sent to the region, CNN reported.
