The Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen announced on July 27 that they will target any ships belonging to companies that do business with Israeli ports, regardless of their nationalities, as part of what it called the fourth phase of its military operations against Israel in support of the Gaza Strip.
In a televised statement, Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree warned that ships would be attacked if companies ignored their warnings, regardless of their destination.
Previously, the group, which is backed by Iran, attacked only ships that are directly tied to Israel through ownership or port calls.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces warn all companies to cease their dealings with Israeli ports starting from the moment this statement is issued. Otherwise, their ships, regardless of their destination, will be targeted anywhere within reach or within the range of our missiles and drones,” the spokesman said.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces call on all countries to, if they want to avoid this escalation, pressure the enemy to halt its aggression and lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip. No free person on this earth can accept what is happening,” he added.
Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis have launched around 65 ballistic missiles and 17 suicide drones at targets in Israel. The group also sank two ships directly linked to Israel in the Red Sea.
Israel carried out six waves of strikes targeting civilian infrastructure in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen in response, but the group was not deterred.
The Houthi announcement could be used by Israel as a pretext for more escalation against Yemen. Recent Hebrew media reports revealed that Israel was a major, broad-based operation against the Houthis, on a scale of its recent attack on Iran, and with the aim of neutralizing the threat posed by the group for an extended period.

support bds… boycott sanction divest from israel and all israeli goods and products. russia is banning whatsapp next month. iran banned it last month. china banned it long ago. ditch israeli-american technology, world must turn away from these demons. buy chinese and use open source. avoid expressvpn, private internet access, cyber ghost – these are mossad vpns. blacklist nso group, paragon solutions. ditch google, facebook, meta, whatsapp. avoid hollywood.
do you know that the boycott desinvestment sanction movement have been banned in some europeans’ country. because boycotting israëli products is antisemitic. by refusing to buy oranges from israël you’re killing the victims of the shoa a second time. (or maybe for the 1st time for those who knows the little wooden door)
yes i have heard…hmm, let me guess…germany, uk and france? in ussa some states like florida have banned it as well. but these jew grovelling goys are now on the side of genocide and jewish nazism. it is increasingly costly and embarrassing to associate with jews, zionism and israel. they do not have morals like humans.
liars arent morally humane.
what is the lie in my comment?
try actually talking to chinese migrants and asking why they fled to the west. you might wake up
you might be getting a rude awakening soon shithead. people in oz are getting pissed off with your zio crowd. you got anything to do with this mossad security front calling itself ‘csg’ by any chance ? karma’s coming to you lot, and it won’t be in the afterlife either 🖕
yep. my motorola analog semi brick from years back was spot on for the time. times change, but not mass murderers. no more. oppo makes a great android. stick with the humans from now on.
dump and his supporters will return saddam to power. since they can’t clone him, they’ll use a man named khamis khanjar.
send some underage females to the white house and maybe trump will flip on his zionist masters who enjoy genocide so much.
like israel needs a pretext. they’re murderous fucking scum, always have been, always will be. yemen, as poor as it is, are the only ones who walk the walk. israel talks tough, like tramp and get the same results as tramp. i live for the day they start dropping the idf from the skies…but, in lieu of that, i’ll take a sunk israeli ship or two…
next time iran needs to strike israel, make sure you obliterate this building: 22 galgal haplada, hertziliya tel aviv 4672222
