The Houthi rebel group has threatened to attack merchant ships belonging to any company or nation that does business with Israel as part of a new phase of attacks aimed at the Jewish state.
The Iran-backed terror group said Sunday that it has “decided to escalate their military support operations and begin implementing the fourth phase of the naval blockade” against Israel.
It warned that all merchant ships, “regardless of nationality” or final destination, will be targeted along the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, two major trade routes that have been plagued by the Houthis since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
