Houthis Declare Israeli-Linked Vessels Military Targets in Red Sea

Yemen’s armed forces say they have imposed a full ban on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, warning that any Israeli-linked vessel operating in the waterway will be treated as a military target.

Military spokesperson Yahya Saree said Yemeni forces also carried out an attack on what he described as a sensitive target in Jaffa, though no further details were provided.

He warned that any Israeli-linked movement in the Red Sea would be considered hostile and would be engaged militarily.
