Yemen’s Houthi rebels renewed threats to attack Israel-flagged ships, and vessels owned or operated by Israel, as the war in Gaza continues. The group will target the ships “based on religious, national and moral responsibility, and in view of the brutal Israeli-American aggression that the Gaza Strip is being subjected to, including daily massacres and genocide,” it said on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. It also called on other countries to order its citizens to stop working on Israeli ships, and keep their own vessels away from Israeli boats.
