Houthi leader: We are planning more effective strikes on "enemy" ships. In "solidarity with Gaza", which has been facing a devastating Israeli war since October 7, 2023, the Houthis have targeted, with missiles and drones, Israeli cargo ships or those linked to them in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.

Recently, the group said it would expand the strikes to “include enemy-linked ships passing through the Indian Ocean via the Cape of Good Hope route”
