Houthis Target U.S.-Owned Ship After U.S. Bombs Yemen Again
-----------------------------------------------------------

Tension is continuing to escalate across the Middle East. On Monday,
Houthi forces from Yemen fired a missile that hit a U.S.-owned cargo
ship in the Gulf of Aden. The attack came after the U.S. and U.K. bombed
Houthi sites in Yemen on Thursday and again on Friday. Houthi officials
have vowed to keep attacking ships linked to Israel, as well as U.S. and
British ships, until a ceasefire is reached in Gaza.

Yahya Sarea: "In support of the grievances of the Palestinian people in
the Gaza Strip, who are subjected to the most heinous types of massacres
by the Zionist entity, and in response to the American and British
aggression against our country, the naval forces of the Yemeni Houthi
armed forces, with the help of Allah Almighty, carried out a military
operation targeting a U.S. ship in the Gulf of Aden with a number of
appropriate naval missiles, and the hit was accurate and direct."
