Yemeni Armed Forces announced that they had carried out an attack today against two Israeli vessels in the Bab Al-Mandab.
Yemeni Marine Forces carried out two military operations this morning targeting Israeli ships. These ships are “Unity Explorer” and “Nimber Nine,” where the first vessel was targeted by a naval missile and the second by a marine drone.
According to a statement by Armed Forces, they acted in accordance with the Leader. Abdulmalik Badraldin Al-Houthi’s orders, in response to the Yemeni people’s demands, and in response to calls for the freedom of all Arab and Islamic nations in full standing with the Palestinian people’s options and steadfast resistance.
The statement claimed that the ships’ rejection of the Yemeni naval forces’ warning signals was the reason behind the targeting.
Yemeni military declared that they would not let any Israeli ships sail the Red and Arab Seas unless Israeli aggression against the Palestinian brothers in the Gaza Strip stopped.
Yemeni naval forces repeated their warning to all Israeli ships or any ship in relations with Israelis that they would become legitimate targets if they didn’t understand what came in this and previous statements by Yemeni armed forces.
