The Israeli military announced that it had deployed missile boats in the Red Sea in response to recent attacks carried out by the Iran-backed Houthi militia.
The deployment comes a day after the Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for launching attacks towards Israel and pledged to continue.
Images released by the Israeli military showed Saar-class corvettes patrolling near the Eilat port in the Red Sea.
