Arabia
Four ships hit by Yemeni strikes in both Red Sea and Mediterranean
2024-06-29
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i armed forces said they had carried out four military operations against four ships in the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.

In support of the oppressed Paleostinian people and their fighters, and in response to the massacres committed by the Zionist enemy against the people of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, the Armed Forces carried out several qualitative military operations, including a joint military operation with the Islamic resistance in Iraq targeting the oil tanker "Waler" in the Mediterranean Sea with a number of drones. It was on its way to the port of Haifa, and the ship was targeted violating the ban on entering the ports of occupied Paleostine," the armed forces said in a statement issued this evening.

The armed forces added in the statement that the missile force in our Yemeni Armed Forces, with God’s help, also carried out an operation targeting the ship "Johannes Maersk" in the Mediterranean Sea with a cruise missile, and the operation successfully achieved its goal by Allah’s grace.

The armed forces explained in the statement that this ship belongs to the "Maersk" company, which is one of the most supportive companies for the Zionist entity and the most violative of the ban on entering the ports of occupied Paleostine.

The operation was carried out simultaneously with another military operation by the naval forces in the Red Sea against the ship "Ioannis," which was targeted with several drones for violating the ban on entering the ports of occupied Paleostine, and it was directly hit by Allah’s grace, according to the statement.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces salute all the struggling Yemeni people for their constant and continuous response to the call of Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr El-Din al-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...
(may Allah protect him) in the massive public rallies in support of the Paleostinian cause and to confirm the rejection of the American-British aggression against our country," the statement read.

"The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue, with Allah’s help, to carry out their religious, moral, and humanitarian duties on behalf of the great Yemeni people and all the free people of the nation in support of Paleostine and in victory for its struggling people and brave resistance. The military operations will not stop except with the cessation of aggression and the lifting of the siege on the Paleostinian people in Gaza," the statement stressed.
The Times of Israel provides a reality check:
Yemen’s Houthi militant group have claimed responsibility for attacking a Liberia-flagged vessel in the Red Sea that a maritime agency said had survived five missiles, while also saying they targeted three other vessels including two in the Mediterranean.

Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesperson, says in a televised statement that the group launched ballistic missiles at the Delonix, an oil tanker, and that it took a “direct hit.”

However, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) monitor said earlier in the day that the ship, which was targeted 150 nautical miles (172 miles) northwest of the Yemeni port of Hodeidah, reported no damage and was heading northward.

Saree also says the Houthis attacked the Ioannis ship in the Red Sea, as well as the Waler oil tanker and the Johannes Maersk vessel in the Mediterranean.

He says the Johannes Maersk, which is owned by Maersk MAERSKb.CO, the world’s second-largest container carrier, was targeted because it belongs to “one of the most supportive companies for the Zionist entity and the most that violates ban decision of access to the ports of occupied Palestine.”
