It is the Houthi rebels’ second attack on a merchant vessel in the Red Sea this week, and their first deadly ship attack since June 2024.

Israel has carried out its first strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen since the Israel-Iran ceasefire, attacking ports and a power plant around midnight local time Sunday night into Monday morning.

Israel has called on Washington to resume its strikes on Houthis after the militant group resumed its attacks on shipping. The request comes more than two months after US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire deal with the militant group, the culmination of a campaign of air and naval strikes against targets in Yemen.

Israel and Iran-backed Houthi rebels exchanged missile fire on Monday as Israeli forces targeted Yemeni ports they say are used for weapons transfers.

The Israeli military says the strikes were a response to attacks by the Houthis, who later launched two missiles towards Israel and the occupied West Bank.

Israel’s military launched airstrikes early Monday targeting ports and facilities held by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, with the rebels responding with missile fire targeting Israel.
