The United States is sending the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean, US Defence Secretary Lloyd James Austin said.

The US will be providing Israel with additional equipment and resources, including munitions, Austin said.

 The first security assistance will begin moving Sunday and will arrive in the coming days, he added.
