    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The report came just a day after U.S. troops were attacked in Iraq and Syria, stoking fears of a regional expansion of the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

    Defense analysts and military officials believe the Houthis have medium-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel, more than 1,300 miles away.

    Several armed groups aligned with Iran have vowed to target U.S. military bases in the Middle East if it intervened in an expected Israeli ground invasion of Gaza.

    The Carney’s defense actions came just a day after three separate drone attacks targeted U.S. air bases in Iraq and Syria.

    He added that the Pentagon did not take the series of attacks on U.S. bases as a reason to believe the Israel-Hamas conflict had grown to include additional Iran allies.

    He’s strengthened U.S. posture in the region by deploying several warships, aircraft carriers and marines to the area, but also made clear that he does not intend for the U.S. to become directly involved militarily.
