[Regnum] The Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) intends to attack ships associated with Israel or going to its ports everywhere, including in the Mediterranean Sea, if Israel launches an operation in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. This was stated on May 3 by the military representative of the organization, Yahya Sariya, on the Al Masirah TV channel.

“The Yemeni armed forces are ready to attack all ships violating the decision to ban Israeli shipping and heading to the ports of occupied Palestine, including in the Mediterranean Sea, in any area within range,” he said.
According to Saria, Yemeni rebels will begin such actions if the Israeli army launches a military operation in Rafah.
The Houthis also intend, in the event of such a development of the situation, to introduce “comprehensive sanctions” against all ships of companies related to supply and entry into Israeli ports, and will also prevent the passage of all ships of these companies through the area under their control, he added.
As Regnum reported, on April 30, Saria announced an attack by the Houthis on two US Navy destroyers and the bulk carrier Cyclades in the Red Sea, as well as the container ship MSC Orion in the Indian Ocean. According to him, drones and other weapons sent to US Navy destroyers achieved their intended targets.
Earlier in the day, the Royal Navy's Maritime Trade Coordination Center reported an attack on a merchant ship off the coast of Yemen. It was noted that none of the crew members were injured as a result of this.
On April 30, the US military announced the destruction of a Houthi UAV in the Red Sea. According to US Central Command, the Houthis also attacked a commercial vessel with three anti-ship ballistic missiles and three drones.
