From words to deeds. After their ultimatum a few days ago, yesterday the Houthis announced they intend to recommence attacking Israeli ships that violate their ban.
Yemeni militia spokesman Ameen Hayyan said that all Israeli ships are now banned from operating in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Strait of Bab al-Mandab and the Gulf of Aden.
“Any Israeli ship attempting to violate this ban shall be targeted in the declared zone of operations,” said Hayyan.
He added that the attacks would continue until Israel allowed Huminatarian aid to enter Gaza.
