Houthi group has carried out more than 60 attacks on Israeli ships or those heading to Israel since last November 19 in the Red Sea. The continued targeting of cargo ships through Bab al-Mandab resulted in deaths for the first time in an attack on a Greek ship off Aden.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller vowed on Thursday to hold the Houthis accountable without clarifying what “this accountability” would be like. Despite the American threat of accountability, Muhannad Al-Azzawi, a military analyst and specialist in strategic affairs, confirms that the recent escalations will not lead to a response different from what the United States usually does.
