Houthis target another ship on way to Israel
Gaza (Quds News Network) - The Houthi movement said today that it targeted the commercial ship MSC UNITED using suitable naval missiles. The movement said in a statement on Tuesday that the operation was carried out after the ship's crew rejected calls by the Houthis' naval forces three times and ignored several warning shots. It added that the operation was "in defense for the Palestinian people, which has been subjected to ongoing murder, destruction, siege, and starvation." The movement also stated that its air forces carried out several drone attacks against military sites in Um Al Rashrash as well as other location in occupied Palestine. It also doubled down on its position, supporting the Palestinian people. This support, as the movement said, includes carrying out operations in both the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea against ships heading to Israel until humanitarian aid enters the Gaza Strip.
