Houthis threaten ships trading with Israeli ports

Yemen's Houthis announced they will target ships of companies dealing with Israeli ports, regardless of nationality, escalating their military operations. This marks the fourth phase of their actions, with warnings issued to companies to cease dealings or face attacks, irrespective of ship destinations. The Houthis cited solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The group previously engaged in a deal with the U.S. to halt attacks in exchange for an end to bombing campaigns, though the Houthis stated this did not extend to sparing Israel.
