Yemen rebels claim Red Sea ship strike, drone attack towards Israel
Sanaa, Yemen – AFP
Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Tuesday claimed a missile strike on a vessel in the Red Sea and a drone attack towards Israel in solidarity with Gaza.
In a statement, the rebels said they carried out an operation against a commercial ship they identified as MSC UNITED, and launched a number of “drones against military targets” in southern Israel.
Yahya Saree, Houthi military spokesman, said the targeting of the ship came “after its crew refused, three time, calls from the naval forces, as well as repeated warning shots”.
“The air force in the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation with a number of drones against military posts in the Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat] and other areas in occupied Palestine [Israel],” he added.
