[Regnum] Yemen's Houthis from the Ansar Allah movement attacked the American ship Star Iris in the Red Sea, said movement spokesman Yahya Saria
“The Yemeni navy fired anti-ship missiles at the US ship Star Iris in the Red Sea. The hit was direct and accurate,” explained a representative of the movement.
Prior to this, on February 6, members of the Ansar Allah movement fired six anti-ship missiles at two commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
It was noted that three missiles, one of which was shot down by an American destroyer, were fired towards the Greek cargo ship MV Star Nasia flying the flag of the Marshall Islands. As a result of the attack, the ship received minor damage.
As the Pentagon said at the time, three more missiles fell into the water near the British merchant ship MV Morning Tide.
Following the attack, American and British troops carried out strikes on Ansar Allah targets in Hodeidah province in Yemen.
As Regnum reported, on the night of January 11-12, the United States and Britain, as part of an international coalition, began a military operation in Yemen. They used cruise missiles for attacks. Washington and London said the attack was in response to Houthi attacks on ships off the Yemeni coast.
On February 3, the United States, with the support of Britain, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand, attacked 36 targets in 13 locations 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.

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... , shipping sources said.
A US defense official said it was likely that the ship had been targeted but not hit, but provided no further comment. Earlier reports by maritime specialists suggested the vessel may have been damaged but that there were no casualties.
The Houthis identified the vessel as the Star Iris. The group’s military front man, Yahya Saree, said in a televised statement the ship was American but maritime shipping trackers said the Marshall Islands-flagged ship was Greek-owned.
The Star Iris had been transporting corn cargo from Brazil to Iran, according to ship tracking analysis from data and analytics group Kpler.
"The Star Iris, like every Iran-bound bulker, had not diverted away from the Red Sea, perhaps unafraid of attacks from Iran-backed Houthis who could be considered ’friendly’ given the vessel’s destination," said Ishan Bhanu, lead agricultural commodities analyst at Kpler.
"It was carrying corn from Brazil. At a projected 4.5 million tonnes for this year, flows from Brazil make for the majority of Iran’s corn imports."
A regional security official said the attack appeared designed to "show Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... does not control the Houthis and they act independently," but that the Houthis had informed Tehran in advance.
British maritime security firm Ambrey and the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said early on Monday that a Marshall Islands-flagged, Greece-owned bulk carrier had been targeted by missiles in two incidents while passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Ambrey said the bulker had reportedly suffered damage to its starboard side after sighting a projectile near the vessel 23 nautical miles (43km) northeast of Djibouti’s Khor Angar and 40 nautical miles southwest of Yemen’s Red Sea port city of Mokha.
Ambrey said the bulker was reportedly headed to Bandar Imam Khomeini, one of Iran’s biggest ports and a major grains terminal. UKMTO said the crew was unharmed and the vessel was proceeding to its next port of call.

[IsraelTimes] Man and boy hospitalized after perpetrators said to descend from Yitzhar, fire shots, throw stones and clash with Paleostinian residents in Asira al-Qibliya
Two Paleostinians were shot and injured, and a pair of vehicles and a home were torched during violent mostly peaceful settler attacks in the northern West Bank, several media outlets reported Monday.
Asira al-Qibliya Mayor Hafez Salah told Paleostinian media that a violent mostly peaceful group descended on the village from the flashpoint Yitzhar settlement. The group opened fire and threw rocks in festivities with residents, he said.
A 20-year-old man was shot in the stomach and a 16-year-old was hit in the hand.
Both were taken to the hospital, but their conditions were not immediately known. The group Looking the Occupation in the Eye said they suffered medium-to-severe injuries.
During the attack, a vehicle and a home were set on fire, Salah told official Paleostinian news site Wafa.
Citing a security official, Army Radio reported that Israeli soldiers were later deployed to the area and dispersed assailants, but there were no reports of arrests.
In a later incident in the nearby village of Huwara, a truck belonging to a Paleostinian was also set alight by settlers. The Wafa said the car belonged to Huwara resident Abdullah Odeh and that it was parked in front of his home.
The incidents come as Israel faces increasing pressure to crack down on settler violence, with both the United States and the United Kingdom slapping sanctions on murderous Moslem settlers alleged to have carried out attacks on Paleostinians.
At least 10 Paleostinians were killed and dozens of homes were torched across the West Bank in settler attacks in 2023, human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... group Yesh Din said in January.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said on January 1 that there was a daily average of three settler-related incidents in the first eight months of 2023 compared to the two-per-day average in 2022 — the highest rate since the beginning of record-keeping in 2006.

[GEO.TV] Abu Obaida, spokesperson for Hamas's armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, confirms that three captives have succumbed to injuries from Israeli attacks. The same air raids had previously killed two captives and left eight seriously injured. Abu Obaida postpones releasing names until the fate of the remaining wounded captives is determined.
Sure, blame it on the Israelis, when if it were not for Hamas, those people would not be at risk as captives in Gaza. The Geneva Conventions forbid holding civilians as captives for ransom or as human shields.

I'm sure there's special exception in UN rules for anyone fighting Israel.
They’re looking remarkably undefeated for a defeated army.
[GEO.TV] Osama Hamdan, a member of Hamas ...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... 's political bureau based in Beirut, has labelled Israel's release of two captives as a mere "marketing ploy for a defeated army," Al Jazeera reported.
According to Hamdan, this move is an attempt to bolster the Israeli army's morale amid ongoing struggles, particularly in Khan Younis, where they face resistance and have failed to retrieve additional captives.
Hamdan questions the credibility of Israel's account, suggesting that the two released captives were not in Hamas's custody but held with a civilian family. This raises doubts about the accuracy of Israel's narrative and indicates an effort to exaggerate the incident.
Highlighting the resistance's achievements, Hamdan notes that, after four months, the Qassam Brigades still hold 134 captives, considering it a significant accomplishment. and a War Crime
The release of the two captives is perceived by Hamas as a strategic move by Israel to counterbalance its military setbacks and project a semblance of success in the conflict.
