Title: Kremlin Warns of Significant Risk of Third-Party Involvement in Israeli Conflict

Russian news agencies reported on Monday that Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that "there is a significant risk of third-party involvement in the ongoing conflict between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants." Peskov's remarks came in response to news that U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered the deployment of the U.S. aircraft carrier "Gerald Ford" to the eastern Mediterranean as a show of support for Israel. As Operation "Al-Aqsa Flood" entered its third day, rocket fire on the Gaza Strip continued unabated. The Al-Qassam Brigades announced the launch of a new series of rockets towards Tel Aviv and Jerusalem "in response to the Israeli bombardment," leading to the declaration of an emergency in Jerusalem and the Gush Dan and Sharon areas.
