Houthis release video showing their Sunday hijacking of Israeli-linked shipping vessel in Red Sea
[IsraelTimes] I’m not qualified to judge, of course, but a good deal of that video looks like Arma 3 to me, and part of the rest like a helicopter drone, not the kind of full sized machine that carries actual, full sized people. What say you, dear Reader?


Translation of the Hebrew: The Houthis in Yemen show this: We took control of the Israeli ship yesterday in the Red Sea
The Iran-backed 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...
s in 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...
release a video showing how the group hijacked an Israeli-linked shipping vessel in the Red Sea yesterday.

The footage shows a helicopter landing on the vehicle carrier named the Galaxy Leader, with several button men getting off and taking control of the ship.

Houthi button men can be seen holding the international crew at gunpoint in the video.

One of the Houthi operatives is also seen shouting the group’s slogan while walking through the ship: "God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Cursed be the Jews, Victory to Islam."

The Bahaman-flagged vessel is registered under a British company, which is partially owned by Israeli tycoon Abraham Ungar, who goes by Rami. The vessel was leased out to a Japanese company at the time of the hijacking.

The ship had been sailing from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
to India with an international civilian crew, without any Israelis aboard.

#2 Just MIGHT be the wrong time to declare against Israel.

Houthis say they'll continue attacks until 'demise of Israel'
