Houthis say they have already attacked 34 vessels

Houthi spokesperson Dhaifallah al-Shami says that since the beginning of military actions against Israel, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, have targeted 34 vessels, including 17 Israeli, 14 American, and three British ships.

"We only target these vessels. The United States and the United Kingdom pose a threat to international navigation by attempting to protect Israeli ships," he said.

Earlier, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi claimed that no Israeli vessel managed to break through the maritime blockade imposed by the movement.
