Yemen’s Houthis say they targeted 166 ships since November
Yemen’s Houthi group said Thursday that it has targeted 166 ships associated with Israel, the US and the UK since last November.
In a televised speech, Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said his group carried out 10 drone and missile attacks this week.
“Our naval operations in support of Palestinians in Gaza have continued unabated,” he added.
The Houthi leader said the movement of ships linked to the US and Britain has significantly diminished in recent months.
“Israel-linked navigation has almost disappeared,” he added.
There was no comment from the US, Britain, or Israel on the Houthi statement.
The Houthis have been targeting ships that are Israeli-owned, flagged, operated or headed to Israeli ports in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden with missiles and drones in solidarity with Gaza, which has been under a devastating Israeli onslaught since Oct. 7 last year.
With the US and UK launching retaliatory airstrikes against Houthi sites inside Yemen, the Houthis declared that they consider all American and British ships military targets.
