Yemen’s Houthis threaten to escalate attacks on ships linked to companies dealing with Israel
- Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis announced late Sunday they will escalate attacks by targeting ships linked to companies dealing with Israeli ports.
- This escalation follows a campaign started over the October 2023 Israel-Hamas war, with the Houthis acting in solidarity with Palestinians and ignoring a May US deal.
- At the start of this month, two Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned bulk carriers—the Magic Seas and the Eternity C—were targeted by the Houthis, resulting in the sinking of the Magic Seas after all 22 crew members were saved, while the attack on the Eternity C caused four fatalities and the capture of 11 crew.
- Houthi leader Abdel Malek al-Houthi claimed that both vessels were operated by companies connected to Israeli port services, while Human Rights Watch condemned the attacks as war crimes against civilian ships.
- The expanded naval blockade threatens over $1 trillion of annual Red Sea trade and implies rising regional tensions with continued attacks on maritime traffic.
