CNN reports that a force of 2,000 American Marines and sailors is now making its way near the shores of Israel. An American security official told the network that sending the force to the Middle East was intended to strengthen the American presence there, after Washington had already brought two aircraft carriers closer to Israel. The source did not say exactly where the Marine force would be sent, but the report stated that it might reach the Red Sea, near the shores of Eilat. (Ynet)
