Yemen’s Houthis target Israel-linked ships in Red Sea. Here’s what to know

Al Jazeera  

The Houthis seem to have made a strategic shift towards maritime operations to ramp up pressure on the US and Israel. The Bab al-Mandeb is a 25km strait that connects the Gulf of Aden south of Yemen to the Red Sea, which stretches to southern Israel and is a significant shipping lane. By focusing on Bab al-Mandeb – and launching earlier attacks in the Red Sea and southern Israel – the Houthis appear to be trying to impose hefty financial costs on Israel in addition to undermining its security if it chooses to prolong the war. It is possible that some ships that see themselves exposed to risk due to links with Israel may opt to avoid Bab al-Mandeb and the Red Sea altogether, with companies instead resorting to longer routes around Africa or more expensive air transport. “They have jeopardised the lives of international crews representing multiple countries around the world.” Israel and the US have so far chosen not to directly attack Yemeni soil, and that will likely remain the case.
