“Operations in the Red and Arabian Seas, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden are continuing, escalating, and effective,” Abdul Malik al-Houthi added in a televised speech. He gave no details of the submarine weapons.

Ships owned by individuals or entities in Israel, the U.S. and U.K. or sailing under their flags are banned from the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea, Thursday’s notices said.

“The Humanitarian Operations Center was established in Sanaa to coordinate the safe and peaceful passage of ships and vessels that have no connection to Israel,” a senior Houthi official told Reuters on Thursday.

No ships have been sunk nor crew killed during the Houthi campaign. However there are concerns about the fate of the UK-registered Rubymar cargo vessel, which was struck on Feb. 18 and its crew evacuated.

    Your argument is like saying that everyone is allowed to just hop over the American border and go everywhere because the are “civilians”.

    The moment you start doing illegal things you are no longer a “civilian”.

    Those ships have no right to pass through Yemeni waters. They have been warned in advance. Framing trade conglomerates as “civilians” to defend israel’s Genocide is absolutely hilarious.

    If you care about civilians go tell israel to stop their Genocide, then Yemen will lift their blockade.

    Yemen has not killed a single civilian so far meanwhile America, israel and Britain are killing a child every 10 minutes

      I could line by line this but these are civilians working on a ship, they don’t choose anything, especially they don’t choose where the ship goes which is international waters not Yemeni waters. The attacks are on ships in international waters

        It’s directly off the coast of Yemen. You like to pick and choose laws when you like.

        But even with your warped standards, the root of this issue is israel not abiding by international law.

        If israel doesn’t have to then nobody else has to.
