The Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen are about to begin attacks against Israeli ships sailing in the Red Sea and other waters in support of the Gaza Strip, the Al-Mayadeen TV reported on November 18, citing a Yemeni military official.
The unnamed official told the Lebanon-based news channel that Israeli ships will be targeted regardless of whether they are heading to “occupied Palestine” or not.
“The Yemeni armed forces are capable of targeting any Israeli ship, whether in the Red Sea or any other place that the enemy does not expect,” the official said.
The Houthis, who control much of Yemen’s Red Sea coast, are part of the so-called “Axis of Resistance” which is backed by Iran and opposes Israel. Since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, the Houthis have been launching attacks with missiles and drones against Israel.
Earlier this week, the Houthis vowed to target Israeli ships sailing close to Yemen after announcing two attacks against Israel.
The Houthis possess a large arsenal of anti-ship missiles as well as sophisticated naval mines. They also pioneered the use of remotely-controlled water-borne improvised explosive devices and employed suicide drones against ships in the past.
After the Houthi threat to Israeli ships, the commander of the Israeli Air Forces said that there were plans to launch attacks against Yemen.
The Hotuhis have the means to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which links the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden, in the face of Israeli ships. However, this will certainly result in a response from not only Israel, but also the United States who currently has an aircraft carrier strike group near Yemen.

saulte to the houthis aka ansar allah!
why yemen became a poor and corrupt nation? because houthis are a bunch of inbred homo erectus worshipping a pagan allah in a form of a black piece of rock with no mythical or religious benefit whatsoever.
okay expert
what’s so interesting about your life? what grand things are you doing which gives you license to ridicule these houthis? how do you know you’d be doing so much better then then if you were in their position?
these backwards inbreds were able to fight off a saudi army with all this “high class” us machinery? what does that say about these brilliant american war scientists?
lol. stop youre whinging.
jews are filth, satanic luciferian worshippers.
meanwhile islam is for the inbred uneducated mudslime who follow a man who was an illiterate fool, achieved nothing his whole life and then became the face of the wuran which was written by jews to keep the muslims warring amongst themselves.
both scum
alexander is a coward and he is frightened.
says the guy worshipping by banging his head repeatedly against the wailing wall
should keep those for saudis who will inevitably attack them after they get offered enough money to return back to the western allience.
after years of war the houthis are battle hardened and ready to fight.
those houtis know how to deal with agents of the us reich.
it would also be safe to assume that besides the houthis unlawful direct attacks on shipping we must also prepare for possible mining of the red sea.
