SANAA, Yemen — Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claim a missile strike on a vessel in the Red Sea and a drone attack toward Israel in solidarity with Gaza, where Israel is battling Hamas terrorists.

In a statement, the rebels say they “carried out a targeting operation against a commercial ship” they identify as MSC UNITED, and launched a number of “drones against military targets” in southern Israel.
