Aug. 19: Israeli soldiers secure the area near roads leading to the sites of several attacks in the Arava desert, near the southern Israeli resort town of Eilat.
Israel sent two more warships to the Red Sea border with Egypt, the military said Tuesday, part of a military reinforcement there following warnings that militants are planning another attack on southern Israel from Egyptian soil. This comes as Iran's Press TV reports that Tehran has decided to send the 15th fleet to the Red Sea, ynetnews.com reports.
Iran's Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari told Iranian TV that the objective is to patrol the high seas and to thwart pirate attacks.
"The presence of Iran's army in the high seas will convey the message of peace and friendship to all countries," he said, according to the website.
