While the U.S. carrier strike group’s intelligence capabilities could assist in detecting ongoing militant attacks, U.S. officials have said the repositioning of military assets was intended primarily as a warning to Iranian-backed groups that represent an additional threat to Israel. First among them is Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia, which has a history of direct conflict with Israel, including a 2006 war that killed more than 1,000 people.
U.S. and Israeli officials have stopped short of ascribing a direct role to Iran in the planning or staging of the Hamas invasion, which was on a scale and complexity unprecedented for the group.
