"Pentagon's Uncertainty Surrounding Red Sea Attacks on US Warship: Israel and Hamas Provide Live Updates"

The USS Carney responded to attacks on commercial ships and shot down three drones over the Red Sea, but it is unclear if the warship was a target. Meanwhile, Israel resumed bombing the Gaza Strip after a weeklong truce with Hamas, intensifying efforts in southern Gaza. A study led by American researchers suggests that Hamas may have profited from stock deals made before their October 7 attack, with some traders potentially making billions of dollars by short selling Israeli stocks. The Israel Securities Authority is currently investigating the matter.

This incident follows a recent string of threats from Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, including an Iranian drone flying near the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier. The Red Sea, where the incident occurred, is a crucial trade route, and tensions have been heightened in the region due to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

US Navy Destroys Missiles and Drones for 9 Hours; President Biden Orders Reinforced Military Presence

The USS Carney, a U.S. Navy destroyer, engaged in a nine-hour battle off the coast of Yemen, shooting down four cruise missiles and 15 drones, which is more than initially reported. The missiles were fired by Houthi rebels and were en route to Israel. This marks the first attempt by any group in Yemen to strike at Israel since the recent terror attacks by Hamas. The Pentagon has not attributed the other recent drone attacks in Iraq and Syria to any specific group. The Houthis, who receive support from Iran, remain in conflict with a Saudi-led intervention force. The USS Carney used SM-2 surface-to-air missiles to intercept the missiles and drones over the water.
