The US military announces that another aircraft carrier strike group has reached the Middle East, the second to be stationed in the region amid the ongoing war between Israel and Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group.

US Central Command says that among the ships sailing with the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower are a pair of guided missile destroyers and a guided missile cruiser.
