"Our military operations will continue to target ships linked to Israeli, American, and British interests," said Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the group's leader, in a televised speech on the Houthi-operated al-Masirah television channel.
Since November 2023, the Houthi group has been conducting missile and drone attacks on Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea and other waters off Yemen to show solidarity with Palestinians amid the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In response, the US-British naval coalition stationed in the region has conducted air raids and missile strikes against Houthi targets to deter the group.
