Centcom in a sentence

A U.S. defense official told ABC News that Austin had a call with his team this morning including U.S. Centcom Commander Gen. Eric Kurilla – Israel falls under Centcom's area of responsibility.

CENTCOM (on X): US fighter jets and a navy destroyer shut down 12 attack drones over the southern Red Sea.

Hours later, four boats tried to attack the same ship, but US forces opened fire, killing several of the armed crews, the US Central Command (Centcom) said.

In addition to the attacks on the radars, US forces destroyed one uncrewed aerial system launched from Yemen and two uncrewed surface vessels in the Red Sea, according to the CENTCOM statement.

On Friday, the CENTCOM commander is expected to meet with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant before continuing on his regional tour.
