Amid Houthi threats, Israeli Navy submarine docks in Eilat Gulf

An Israeli Navy submarine arrived in The Gulf of Eilat early this morning (Sunday) following a long voyage from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. This marks the first time a submarine has openly entered the gulf since the outbreak of the Swords of Iron War, and the threat by Houthi rebels to target any Israeli vessel navigating the Red Sea.

A new visitor in the Gulf of Eilat. An Israeli Navy submarine arrived in The Gulf of Eilat early this morning (Sunday) after an extensive journey, traveling from the Mediterranean, around South Africa's Cape of Good Hope, and through the Red Sea.

This is the first submarine to arrive in the Gulf of Eilat openly since the start of the Iron Swords War, and the Houthis' declaration that they would attack any Israeli vessel in the Red Sea.

Earlier today, The Israeli Defense Ministry announced that a shipment of heavy aerial bombs, recently released by the US, has arrived in Israel.

The ship, carrying heavy MK-84 munitions, a 2,000-pound general purpose aerial bomb, docked in Israel after President Donald Trump announced at the end of January that the shipment had been cleared for Israel's use. The vessel arrived at Ashdod Port, where the munitions were unloaded and transported on dozens of trucks to various Israeli Air Force bases.

So far, more than 76,000 tons of military equipment have arrived in Israel via 678 flights and 129 shipments by sea, marking the largest air and sea lift in Israel's history.
