Houthis declare Israeli-linked vessels military targets in Red Sea

Yemen’s armed forces announced a complete ban on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, warning that any Israeli-linked vessel movement in the waterway would be treated as a military target.

In a statement, military spokesperson Yahya Saree said Yemeni forces had also attacked what he described as a sensitive target in Jaffa, without providing further details.

"Any Zionist movement in the Red Sea will be considered a military target and will be engaged," the statement said.
