The Houthis in Yemen have announced a new threat against maritime companies, stating they will target any ship belonging to firms that engage with Israeli ports. The warning, delivered by spokesperson Yahya Saree, emphasized that the attacks would apply regardless of the ship's national flag. The Houthis urged all companies to immediately halt dealings with Israeli ports, warning that failure to comply would put their vessels at risk of missile and drone strikes. This escalation marks a significant broadening of the Houthis' previous threats against maritime traffic in the region.
