Why it matters:
Over the past few months, attacking ships heading towards the occupied territories has become a strategy for the Yemeni army. The strategy is a deterrent one to stop Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.
The bigger picture:
In addition to firing missiles and drones at Israel, the Yemeni army has managed to inflict a major blow on the regime’s trade by targeting ships heading towards Israel.
What he's saying:
- We targeted the ship 'Eternity Sea' with a boat and six missiles while it was heading toward the port of Umm Rashrash (Eilat) in occupied Palestine.
- With this operation, the mentioned ship was completely sunk, and this has been documented with sound and video.
- The targeting of this ship took place after the Yemeni Navy’s calls and warnings were ignored.
- We will continue our operations until the Israeli aggression against Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted.
