Our ships heading towards the Red Sea?

That's closer to 180 miles, and the only country that has anti-ship missiles with that kind of range is Russia (we retired the TASM a few years ago).

If they are going to launch missiles into Israel, will Israel attack this time?

Remembering what happened to the USS Cole, I'm a bit nervous about them doing through the Suez Canal. I fear mines and/or terrorist tug boats.

Lord, keep our sailors safe!

That's because the missiles we do have and use often and have a greater range work just fine against ships too ;-)
