Hamas has praised Yemen's Houthi rebels for resuming attacks on Israeli-linked vessels, calling it a "true commitment" to the Palestinian cause. The Houthis announced the renewal of their operations after their deadline for Israel to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza expired.
In a statement, Hamas highlighted the significance of these actions in pressuring Israel to lift its blockade on Gaza. The Iran-backed Houthis previously disrupted Red Sea shipping, targeting vessels linked to Israel amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
Their latest announcement signals a continuation of regional tensions affecting global maritime trade.
