A U.S. military destroyer has docked in the port of Eilat, Israel's ynet news website reported on Friday, 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.
