Describing it as «the fourth phase» in their naval blockade of the Suez Canal, the Iran-backed Houthi militia confirmed, that it would escalate its military support operations.

Just months after what appeared to be a gradual de-escalation of threats to shipping in the Red Sea, Yemeni rebels are widening their scope of operations, citing a worsening of the situation unfolding in Gaza.

Describing it as «the fourth phase» in their naval blockade of the Suez Canal, the Iran-backed Houthi militia confirmed, in a statement received by The Loadstar last night, that it would «escalate its military support operations».

It added: «This phase includes targeting all ships belonging to any company that deals with the ports of the Israeli enemy, regardless of the nationality of that company, and in any location within the reach of our armed forces.»
