US Marines' assault ship sailing toward Israel over fears of regional conflict developing
By Alex Oliveira

A US Marines assault ship is reportedly rushing to the eastern Mediterranean, as fears grow that the war between Israel and Hamas could explode into a regional conflict.

The USS Bataan, carrying the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, began making its way toward the Suez Canal late last week after being stationed off the Middle East, a pair of military officials told CNN.

At least two US aircraft carriers and their supporting warships are already stationed in the eastern Mediterranean in response to Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel, which left at least 1,400 civilians dead.

The USS Bataan is still sailing through the Red Sea, but is expected to arrive off the coast of Israel any day now, the sources said.

In addition to mounting amphibious assaults, Marine Expeditionary Units are sometimes used to conduct civilian evacuations.

Last week, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said “prudent contingency planning” was underway to prepare for the possibility of evacuating Americans from the region.

“It would be imprudent and irresponsible if we didn’t have folks thinking through a broad range of contingencies and possibilities,” Kirby said, adding there were no “active efforts” to evacuate Americans en-masse at the time.

Those comments came shortly after Israeli officials reportedly agreed to delay their ground invasion of Gaza in response to pleas from President Biden to allow more time for hostages to be released.

Israel's full ground assault has not yet been launched, but armored columns of troops were seen entering the Gaza Strip over the weekend to continue softening Hamas' defenses in preparation for the operation.

US officials have cautioned that the conflict in Israel could expand if Hezbollah, Lebanon's Iranian-backed Islamist political, throws its weight behind Hamas.

As long as there is a UN, the United States needs to remain one of the five permanent voting members of the Security Council. Veto power matters.

Perhaps -- but the UN has no business dictating what the U.S. does. That's the problem in a nutshell.

Biden and CO need to stay out of the decision making done by Israel. Anything less than destroying EVERY BUILDING and KILLING EVERY PERSON appearing before them is unacceptable. Total annihilation is the only solution.

I say make Gaza a NO GO ZONE...PERMANENTLY! What that means is that no one will ever occupy the land again. NO ONE!

Thanks @Sighlass ---- I guess our fight begins if our government attempts to implement these "edicts".

I agree the UN is a one world government tool ---- I just think (hope?) this makes our voice, vote and veto all the more important

Since no one in the Middle East apparently wants these people, wouldn't the former residents of the newly uninhabitable strip of land be forced into the West Bank ---- or Europe and the US?

Might we not want to think this through more carefully?

Israel reportedly targets Gaza with 'bunker buster' bombs to destroy tunnel networks

The Israeli military has reportedly deployed so-called "bunker buster" bombs in an effort to destroy Hamas terrorists' network of tunnels in Gaza.

Israel conducted some 600 airstrikes in Gaza overnight Monday, targeting Hamas rocket and anti-tank missile positions. Israel has long warned of Hamas' 500-mile network of tunnels beneath the Gaza Strip, where they house munitions and key headquarters.

Fox News guest and former Lt. Col. in the Marine Corps. Chris Banweg likened Hamas' tunnesl to "another city underground." He went on to warn that there is "no limit" to the traps and ambushes that Hamas terrorists have likely prepared in their tunnel systems.

Most bunker buster bombs are capable of penetrating up to 100 feet of earth and 20 ft of reinforced concrete.

Talks had stalled on Friday due to disagreements on the technical aspects of a potential deal, leading to the escalation on Friday night, but talks continued on Saturday and have been ongoing following the “productive visit of the Israeli official,” I’m told.
