Red Sea Escalation: Houthis Seize Israeli Ship

Israel declared on Sunday that Yemen’s Houthis had seized a British-owned and Japanese-operated cargo ship in the southern Red Sea, describing the incident as an “Iranian act of terrorism” with consequences for international maritime security.

There was no immediate comment from the Houthis but a spokesperson of the group said earlier on Sunday that all ships owned or operated by Israeli companies, or carrying the Israeli flag could be targeted.

A U.S. Defense official said “we’re aware of the situation and are closely monitoring it”.
