Israel says ship hijacked by Yemen’s Houthis in Red Sea not Israeli, blames Iran

Israel said on Sunday that Yemen’s Houthi militia had seized a British-owned and Japanese-operated cargo ship in the southern Red Sea, describing the incident as an “Iranian act of terrorism” with consequences for international maritime security.
The Houthis, an ally of Tehran, have been launching long-range missile and drone salvoes at Israel in solidarity with the Palestinian Hamas militants it has been battling in the Gaza Strip since October 7.

Last week, the Houthi leader said his forces would make further attacks on Israel and they could target Israeli ships in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.

  1. The Galaxy Leader cargo ship that was captured by the Houthi in the Gulf of Aden is not an Israeli ship and there are no Israelis among its crewmembers, the Israeli Defense Forces (IFD) said on Sunday.

    "The hijacking of a cargo ship by the Houthis near Yemen in the southern Red Sea is a very grave incident of global consequence. The ship departed Turkey on its way to India, staffed by civilians of various nationalities, not including Israelis. It is not an Israeli ship," it stressed.

  2. Армия обороны Израиля ЦАХАЛ отреагировала на захват йеменскими хуситами-повстанцами корабля Galaxy Leader в Аденском заливе Красного моря со ссылкой на представителя армии.

    «Захват грузового судна хуситами вблизи Йемена на юге Красного моря является очень серьезным событием глобального уровня», - сказано в пресс-службе ЦАХАЛ в Telegram-канале.

    По его словам, корабль направлялся в Индию из Турции с международным гражданским экипажем. Это не израильский корабль, а на борту не было израильтян, уточняется в сообщении.
