 I'm Tammy Trujillo. The U.S. is sending the Marines and a Navy assault ship to the coast of Lebanon as tensions rise between Israel and Hezbollah. Military officials say the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp is in the eastern Mediterranean to serve as a deterrent and is not an indication that the U.S. is planning to move American citizens out of Lebanon. U.S. officials do say they want to keep the war between Israel and Hamas from becoming a broader regional conflict and that the 2,200 Marines on board the ship are trained for a wide variety of missions.
