Yemen’s Houthis say they will take military measures as soon as a four-day deadline for lifting a blockage of aid into Gaza ends.
The leader of Yemen’s Houthis said Friday that the group would resume its naval operations against Israel if Israel did not lift a blockage of aid into Gaza within four days — a deadline that ostensibly arrives tomorrow.
The Iran-aligned terror group launched more than 100 attacks targeting shipping from November 2023, saying they were in solidarity with Palestinians.
During that period, it sank two vessels, seized another, and killed at least four seafarers in an offensive that disrupted global shipping, forcing firms to re-route to longer and more expensive journeys around southern Africa.
