[Regnum] The Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) has attacked US, British and Israeli ships over the past 72 hours, Yahya Sariya, a spokesman for the organization, reported on April 7 on Al Masirah TV.
"The Navy attacked the British ship Hope Island with anti-ship missiles in the Red Sea, which was a direct hit," he said.
Saria added that the Houthis also attacked the Israeli ships Grace F in the Indian Ocean and Gina in the Arabian Sea, heading to ports in "occupied Palestine." In addition, the rebels attacked two American frigates in the Red Sea.
"Yemen's armed forces will continue to obstruct Israel's navigation in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean until its aggression ceases and the blockade of the Gaza Strip is lifted," the statement said.
As Regnum reported, on April 7, the UK Maritime Trade Operations Authority reported another attack on a UKMTO vessel in the Gulf of Aden in the Arabian Sea. The kingdom's authorities regarded the incident as an attack and began investigating it.
Bloomberg reported on March 21, citing sources, that the Houthis promised not to attack Russian and Chinese ships. According to the publication, the rebels were allegedly promised support from the UN Security Council and other international organizations for this.
Iran's Houthi sock puppets
 ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

war.
The Iranian proxy said it had targeted a British ship and a number of US frigates in the Red Sea, while in the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean, it attacked two Israeli vessels heading to Israeli ports.
The latest attacks come after a lull of several days in Houthi aggressions, which have disrupted traffic along the vital Red Sea global trade route.
The operations took place during the last 72 hours, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a televised statement.
According to Saree, the attacks included a missile strike against a "British ship (Hope Island) in the Red Sea." Vessel tracking websites listed the Hope Island as traveling under a Marshall Islands flag and said it was in the Red Sea as of Friday.
Missiles also targeted what Saree described as two Israeli ships, MSC Grace F and MSC Gina. Two tracking sites listed a vessel named MSC Grace F which they said sails under the Panamanian flag. Marinetraffic.com also listed MSC Gina as Panamanian-flagged and said it was last reported in the Gulf.
Earlier, British security firm Ambrey said it had received information indicating that a vessel was attacked on Sunday in the Gulf of Aden about 102 nautical miles southwest of Mukalla in Yemen.
"Vessels in the vicinity were advised to exercise caution and report any suspicious activity," the firm said. It did not say who was responsible for the attack or give further details.
Separately, a missile landed near a vessel in the Gulf of Aden on Sunday, but there was no damage to the ship or injuries to crew in the incident, 59 nautical miles southwest of the Yemeni port of Aden, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency said.
"The Master of the vessel reports a missile impacted the water in close proximity to the vessel’s port quarter," UKMTO said in an advisory note. "No damage to the vessel reported and crew reported safe," it added.
It did not say who fired the missile or give further details. It was not immediately clear if the attacks reported by the British agencies were the same as the latest incidents claimed by the Houthis.
Sunday’s attacks came hours after two missiles targeted a ship southwest of the Yemeni Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, according to both UKMTO and Ambrey.
One missile was intercepted by US-led coalition forces and the second missed the ship, according to UKMTO.
Also Sunday, US forces destroyed a mobile surface-to air missile system in a Houthi-controlled territory of Yemen, the US Central Command said.
US forces also shot down one unmanned aerial vehicle over the Red Sea, its statement said, adding that a coalition vessel also detected, engaged and destroyed one inbound anti-ship missile. No injuries or damage were reported.
The weekend attacks came as Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian met with senior Houthi official Mohammed Abdelsalam in Oman on Sunday.
Amir-Abdollahian praised the "brave support of the Yemeni nation for the oppressed Paleostinian nation," according to Iran’s foreign ministry.
The United States, which leads a multinational flotilla intended to protect Red Sea shipping, has since mid-January launched repeated attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen. British warplanes have also taken part in several of the strikes.
In a televised speech on Thursday, Houthi chief Abdul Malik al-Houthi said 37 people had been killed in more than 400 strikes by US and British forces on Yemen since January.
During these operations and attacks, 37 deaders died and 30 others were maimed," he said, without specifying if the casualties were civilians or combatants.
The terror organization’s leader vowed to continue strikes on Red Sea shipping, saying his fighters had launched 34 attacks over the past month.
