Tensions spilling over from the war in Gaza to merchant ships in the Red Sea escalated on Saturday when media reported that the Israeli military had shot down more than a dozen unmanned attack drones.

They have said they intend to prevent Israeli ships from sailing in the Red Sea until Israel stops its war against Hamas, which rules Gaza.
