Houthi rebel naval force in action in the Red Sea
The Houthi rebel terrorist organization in Yemen declared its intention to attack the movement of vessels en route to Israel. Just last Thursday, a ship carrying the Liberian flag was hit by a missile fired by the Houthis.
In addition, at least three additional incidents were reported on the same day by various parties. The Houthi attacks on maritime traffic in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait were openly intended to stop vessel traffic to and from Israel, using the Red Sea and the Suez Canal as shipping routes.
