Yemeni rebels, the Houthis, have declared the resumption of their ban on Israeli ships in the Red Sea as a response to Israel's failure to allow aid into Gaza by their deadline. They emphasized that any violations of this ban will lead to immediate targeting of Israeli vessels. This announcement follows a history of attacks on shipping in the region, which have significantly disrupted global trade, particularly between Asia and Europe. The Houthis continue these operations as acts of solidarity with Palestinians amid continuing conflict in Gaza.
