The Houthis announce the targeting of Eilat and 6 ships within 72 hours. The group's military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said in a video statement that the Houthi forces carried out what he called a military operation that targeted a number of Israeli targets in the Umm al-Rashrash area (Eilat), southern occupied Palestine.

The Houthi military spokesman added that their air force carried out a "qualitative" military operation targeting two American warship destroyers in the Red Sea.
