Houthi Rebels Launch Drone Attacks Over Israel's Eilat and Target Cargo Vessel in the Red Sea

Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for a drone attack on Israel's Eilat and an assault on a cargo vessel in the Red Sea.
The attacks were intended to exert pressure on Israel to halt the conflict in Gaza, according to the Houthi military spokesperson, Yaya Sari.
The rebel group targeted the Liberia-flagged vessel, MC United, alleging it ignored three warning calls. The ship was en route from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan.
The US Central Command reported retaliatory actions, including shooting down 12 attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles, and two land attack cruise missiles.
Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have escalated since the Israel-Hamas war, with a focus on preventing ships from reaching Israeli ports until Gaza's food and medicine supply reopens.
