Houthis: Attacks on Israeli Ships Continue 

Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed

The chief negotiator for Yemen’s Houthis said on Monday that the group’s position has not changed since US-led air strikes on Yemen and warned attacks on ships headed to Israel will continue.

“Attacks to prevent Israeli ships or those heading to the ports of the occupied Palestine will continue,” Mohammed Abdulsalam told Reuters.

He added that the group’s demands are still for an end of the Israeli offensive in Gaza and allowing humanitarian aid to the north and south of the strip.

Last week the US and Britain carried out dozens of airstrikes on Houthi military targets in several Yemeni cities overnight, widening a wave of regional conflict unleashed by Israel’s military operations in Gaza.
