Ship ablaze in Gulf of Aden as Israel shoots down fire in suspected Houthi attacks

Yemen’s Houthi rebels conducted attacks on both Israel and a ship in the Gulf of Aden on Thursday, setting the vessel ablaze.

This showcases their capability to launch assaults despite facing U.S.-led airstrikes.

The Houthi leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, framed these actions as part of a broader pressure campaign to end Israel’s involvement in the conflict with Hamas in Gaza.

However, their recent attacks have become more indiscriminate, posing a threat to a crucial waterway for cargo and energy shipments between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

In the Gulf of Aden, two missiles were fired at the Palau-flagged cargo ship Islander, resulting in a fire and injuring one sailor, according to the U.S. military’s Central Command.

The ship, en route from Thailand to Egypt, continued its journey, ABC News reported.
