As we’ve been reporting, the Houthis say they are targeting Israel-linked ships off the coast of Yemen. However for most of the ships attacked in the region, no such connection has been established.
The Houthis declare themselves to be part of the Iranian-led “axis of resistance” against Israel, the US and the wider West – along with Hamas and Hezbollah. Speaking earlier, a Houthi spokesperson said the group’s demands were “for an end of Israeli attacks in Gaza”.
As a reminder, Israel says its goal is “destroying Hamas’s military and governing capabilities”, as well as freeing the hostages.
