(Jerusalem Post) Tzvi Joffre - The IDF intercepted another aerial threat over the Red Sea near Eilat on Tuesday night that was launched from Yemen. When asked if the IDF intended to respond to the attacks by the Houthis in Yemen, IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said, "the wise thing isn't speaking to media, the wise thing is speaking with actions and protecting the security interests of Israel and to do so in the necessary time and place.

We are focused on the war in Gaza." Israeli missile boats were deployed in the Red Sea on Wednesday following long-range missile and drone attacks claimed by Yemen's Houthis.
