A tanker linked to Israel was seized off the coast of Yemen on Sunday, Nov. 26, prompting a response from the USS Mason, part of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group. Two ballistic missiles were fired from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen towards the USS Mason, and five armed individuals then debarked the ship and attempted to flee. The incident is still under investigation, and highlights the ongoing tensions between Israel and Hamas in the region.
