A US Marine rapid response force was headed to the waters off the coast of Israel, CNN reported on Monday night.
The force includes 2,000 Marines and sailors and will join additional US forces and warships off the coast of Israel.
The troops are set to cover a variety of support roles, such as additional medical support or explosive ordnance support, including providing additional security at gate crossings, one of the officials says.
