Yemen’s Houthi terror group claims it launched two joint military operations with the Iraqi Islamic Resistance against ships at Israel’s Haifa port.
“The first targeted two ships carrying military equipments in the port of Haifa, while the second targeted a ship that violated the decision to ban entry to the port,” Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claims in a televised statement.
There were no reports of an incident in Haifa, and previous claims by Iran-backed groups have later been proven to be exaggerated or fabricated.
“It’s not true,” says IDF spokesperson Lt.-Col. Peter Lerner.
