Yemen's Houthi rebels have threatened to target any Israeli vessel in response to Israel's blockade of aid to Gaza. Their military actions aim to pressure Israel to reopen aid crossings. The Houthis have attacked cargo ships in key maritime routes and warned that their targeting could extend to vessels linked to Israeli interests. Despite the warning, no immediate attacks have been reported. The situation has drawn international criticism, especially as Gaza relies heavily on aid. The Houthis have increased their military profile amid ongoing economic struggles.
