Yemen’s Houthis say they will attack any Israeli ship that violates the group’s ban on Israeli ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Gulf of Aden, effective immediately.

The leader of Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis said on Friday that the group would resume its naval operations against Israel if Israel did not lift a renewed blockage of aid into Gaza within four days.
