CAIRO. Four ships at Israel’s Haifa port were targeted in an apparent attack claimed by Yemen’s Houthis early on Sunday. The Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, stated that a joint military operation with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq militant group was behind the attack.

According to Saree, two cement tankers and two cargo ships at the Haifa port were targeted using drone attacks on Saturday. He mentioned that the targeted ships belonged to companies that had violated the ban on entering the ports of occupied Palestine.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the claim. Saree also stated that the Houthis had attacked the Shorthorn Express in the Mediterranean using drones as part of their campaign to disrupt shipping in key waterways, expressing solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza war.

There has been no independent confirmation of these strikes, and Reuters could not verify the claims. This incident marks a series of attacks by the Iran-aligned Houthis on shipping, including sinking two vessels, seizing another, and resulting in casualties.
