\nJERUSALEM:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Israeli military said it had deployed missile boats in the Red Sea on Wednesday as reinforcements, a day after the Iran-aligned Houthi movement said it had launched missile and drone attacks on Israel and vowed to carry out more.<\/p>\n

Images disseminated by the military showed Saar-class corvettes patrolling near Eilat port in the Red Sea, which Israel sees as a new front as its war in Gaza draws retaliation from Iran-aligned pro-Hamas forces elsewhere in the region.<\/p>\n

The Houthi movement said on Tuesday they had launched three drone and missile attacks towards Israel since the start of the Palestine-Israel war on October 7. It vowed there would be more such attacks to come “to help the Palestinians to victory”.<\/p>\n

In what appeared to be a new attack overnight, the Israeli military said it had intercepted an “aerial threat” over the Red Sea.<\/p>\n

Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi said on Tuesday the Houthi attacks were intolerable, but declined to elaborate when asked how Israel might respond.<\/p>\n

The Houthis are part of the Iran-aligned regional alliance hostile to Israel and the United States which includes Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Iran-backed militias in Iraq.<\/p>\n

The Houthis govern swathes of Yemen including the capital Sanaa, more than a thousand miles from Israel.<\/p>\n

Missiles and drones fired at Israel from the Red Sea area since October 7 have so far either been shot down or fallen short.<\/p>\n

In an October 27 incident, Israel said the Houthis were behind a drone attack that caused explosions in two Egyptian towns on the Red Sea, saying they had been intended to hit Israel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
