Ahlulbayt News Agency: Yemen’s armed forces have vowed to expand their missile attacks to include all Israeli-linked commercial vessels transiting the Mediterranean until the aggression against the Gaza Strip comes to a halt.
“We will attack all ships heading to or having links with Israel in the Mediterranean Sea as well as in any area within our reach,” Houthi military spokesman Yehya Sariee said in a speech he delivered during a weekly pro-Palestine rally staged in Sana’a on Friday.
“This decision is effective immediately,” he stressed, while elaborating on the group’s fourth phase of military escalation in the region.
Moreover, the spokesman warned that if the Israeli occupation launched a military operation in Rafah in southern Gaza, the armed forces would target all ships that deal with Israeli ports and prevent them from passing through the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea “regardless of their destinations.”
“We will not hesitate to continue our military escalation until Israel stops its war and lifts the blockade on the Gaza Strip,” Sariee said.
Since last November, Yemen’s armed forces and Ansarullah group started to launch anti-ship missiles and drones targeting what they said were Israeli-linked ships transiting the Red Sea to show solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza, which has been under relentless Israeli attacks for nearly seven months.
