Israel Notes Houthis' New Ship Targeting
The article reveals the escalation of the Houthis in Yemen, as they have taken control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world's most strategic passages, after capturing the Munir Island and the city of Mokha in the southwest of the country. This advance poses a significant threat to global trade, with approximately 10% of international shipping passing through the strait, which separates the Red Sea from the Gulf of Aden. This comes amid military escalations with Saudi Arabia, which has requested U.S. intervention—though it has been denied—and concerns in Washington over the worsening crisis, leading to the deployment of forces to monitor the situation. The focus has been on protecting freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz. The Houthis' control of this vital passage represents an attack on the maritime chokepoints in the region, especially as Iran increases its support for them, reflecting the danger to regional and international trade and security.
