Yemen’s Houthi group has targeted an unlisted French shipping group CMA CGM Tage container ship bound for Israel, the group’s military spokesman Yahya Sarea said, according to Al Jazeera.

“The Yemeni armed forces confirm that they will continue to prevent Israeli ships or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine from navigating in the Red and Arab Seas until they bring in the food and medicine our brothers in the Gaza Strip need,” Sarea said.

He added that “any US attack will not pass without a response or punishment”.
