The Houthis of Yemen seized the “Galaxy Leader” on Saturday, a cargo cargo carrying cars, which they present as an “Israeli ship”, which the Hebrew State denies.
Indeed, the Houthists claimed on Sunday, November 19, having taken the Red Sea of a commercial ship, owned by an Israeli businessman, and to have diverted him to the Yemeni coast.
The announcement of the Houthists comes a few days after the threat of the rebels supported by Iran to target Israeli ships in this strategic sea.
This Monday, November 20, 2023, these armed forces reveal the first images of this operation showing how a helicopter landed on the ship and how armed individuals entered the cockpit to divert the large ship.
