A series of attacks in the Red Sea, believed to be conducted by Yemen's Houthi group, have resulted in fatalities and injuries among crew members. The assaults have reportedly targeted vessels linked to Israel, claiming they are legitimate under the Houthis' campaign in solidarity with Palestinians amid ongoing conflict in Gaza. Following a recent attack on the Greek-owned ship Eternity C, which experienced significant damage, the Houthis had indicated a broader strategy to disrupt Israeli naval operations in the region.
The Houthis are reportedly targeting Israel-linked ships as part of a solidarity campaign with Palestinians, aiming to pressure the Israeli military regarding the Gaza conflict.
Following the attack on the Greek-owned Eternity C, at least three sailors were killed and two were injured, with search and rescue operations launched shortly after.
The assaults on the Red Sea shipping marks the first incidents since late 2024, indicating a possible resurgence of Houthi armed campaigns in the region.
The Houthis announced that vessels owned by companies affiliated with Israel are legitimate targets, pledging to halt Israeli navigation in the Red and Arabian Seas until aggression against Gaza ceases.
