A U.S. ‍military destroyer has ​docked in the ‌port of ​Eilat, Israel’s ynet news website reported on Friday (January 30, 2026), citing the military, as tension ​between Washington and Iran ⁠heighten.

The news website said the destroyer’s ​arrival ⁠at the southern port, on the Gulf of Aqaba ‌and near ‌Israel’s southern border crossings with Egypt ‍and Jordan, was pre-planned and ‍part of cooperation between the Israeli and U.S. militaries.

The U.S. navy and Israeli military ⁠did not immediately respond to a ​Reuters request for ⁠comment.
