 An Iranian-backed umbrella group known as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed an attack, targeting the southern Israeli port city of Eilat on Wednesday. The militants are allied with Yemen's Houthi rebels, who are suspected of attacking a ship in the Gulf of Aden the same day. Shipping is reduced drastically through the route crucial to Asian, Middle East, and European markets in a campaign the Houthis say will continue as long as the Israel-Hamas war continues.
