ISRAELI MOVES

JERUSALEM --
"’There is nothing unusual about the navy being in those waters _ they often train there,’ said Shlomo Brom, a former Israeli general and a security expert at the Institute for National Security Studies.”

What was the former Israeli general speaking about so causally?

According an article in Newsmax’s Newsfront, “Two of Israel's Saar class missile boats crossed through the Suez Canal and into the Red Sea, Israeli defense officials said. Speaking on condition of anonymity because the move was not officially publicized, they said it was connected to ‘the navy's recent activities around the Red Sea.’"

Of interest was what that recent activity was. Whatever other ships were involved, one was an Israeli Dolphin class submarine. One had moved to the Red Sea..Egyptian officials said, a move that appeared to be a new signal to Iran that Israel's reach could quickly extend to its archenemy's backyard.
The Dolphin sub can carry a bigger threat. Some foreign media say, these subs not only have the ability to sink shipping, but they can fire nuclear-tipped cruise missiles. These subs allow Israel to launch nuclear weapons from afar even if the country itself is suffering a nuclear attack. So they serve as Israel's deterrent "second-strike" capability,

About the Israeli moves: "What is unusual, though, is that this information was made public,” Brom said. “ I believe it was likely leaked on purpose in order to signal to Iran that Israel has the capability of reaching them,".
