Houthis Announce Full Ban on Israeli Shipping in Red Sea

(MENAFN) Yemen’s Houthi movement said on Monday that it is imposing a “complete and total ban” on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, warning that vessels linked to Israel in the waterway will again become targets.

In a statement, the group said it had launched missile strikes against what it described as sensitive Israeli targets in the Jaffa area, claiming that “the missile strikes achieved their objectives with precision.”

The group said the attacks were carried out in response to what it described as Israeli actions in Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen.

“We affirm that we will respond to escalation with escalation, and our military operations will intensify in accordance to the field developments, the battle, and in conjunction with the axis of Jihad and resistance,” the statement said.

It further added that it “will not stand idly by in the face of the unjust siege imposed on our people and the peoples of the axis of jihad and resistance in Palestine, Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq.”

Earlier on Monday, Israel temporarily shut its airspace after intercepting a missile launched from Yemen, according to TV channel reports.
