During the ceasefire of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Yemen's Houthis also stopped attacking Israel in order to support Hamas, but they shifted the battlefield and began to attack Israeli merchant ships.
On December 9, Yemen's Houthi rebels issued a public statement"We will target any vessel that enters or leaves an Israeli port, regardless of its ** country".
The Houthis in Yemen have blocked Israel's life this time, and almost all of Israelis' supplies are transported by sea ships, and if the Houthis really do this, the normal life of the Israelis will be affected.
After the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Houthis in Yemen are the ones who support Hamas the most. The Yemeni Houthis, separated from the Gaza Strip by 2,000 kilometers, are unable to participate in the ground war and can only attack Israel with missiles. After being intercepted by the US air defense system stationed in Saudi Arabia and the Israeli air defense system, the success rate was slim.
Instead of intercepting any Israeli-related ships in the Red Sea, leaving the Israelis without supplies, it is a drain on the bottom of the kettle. Because the Houthis in Yemen are not a country, and there is no fixed location, one shot for another, and the US military is helpless in this situation.
Yemen's Houthi rebels stressed that now that there is an escalation, ships of no country are allowed to enter or leave Israel. Friendly countries are reminded not to transport supplies to Israel.
Yemen's Houthis explain why they did so. It is because during the ceasefire, the operation to destroy and disrupt the transit of Israeli merchant ships in the Red Sea has been a great "success", and neither the United States nor the West nor Israel can do anything about us, they are just paper tigers, and they do not even dare to fight back. So the Yemeni Houthis want to take advantage of the victory to pursue any ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf. As long as it has a relationship with Israel, no matter which country it is, we can hijack it, and destroy it if we can't. If you can't destroy it, you can't destroy it, that is, you can't give Israel any supplies.
Now Israel is really in a hurry, and even the US military can't save it. Only when Israel withdraws its troops from Gaza as soon as possible and allows Palestine to establish a state can there be peace in the Middle East.
