Shafaq News/ Yemen's Ansarallah(Houthis) will limit their attacks on commercial vessels to Israeli-linkedships, coinciding with the implementation of a ceasefire in Gaza, theHumanitarian Operations Coordination Center (HOOC) reported on Monday.
The HOCC, which liaises betweenHouthi forces and commercial shipping operators, stated via an email sent toshipping industry officials, that “sanctions” on vessels owned by the US or UKand those sailing under their flags would be suspended, barring aggressionagainst Yemen by these nations.
“We affirm that in the event of anyaggression against the Republic of Yemen by the United States of America, theUnited Kingdom ... the sanctions will be reinstated against the aggressor.”
The HOCC further noted that theattacks on Israeli-linked ships would cease “upon the full implementation ofall phases of the agreement.”
Last week, the Houthis leader, AbdulMalik al-Houthi, reiterated that the group would continue monitoring theceasefire's implementation. “If the Israeli massacres continue, we willcontinue our operations,” he stated.
“At any stage in which theaggression retreats from the agreement, we will be ready to provide militarysupport to our Palestinian brothers.”
Notably, many of the world's biggestshipping companies have suspended voyages through the Red Sea and divertedtheir vessels around southern Africa to avoid being attacked.
Furthermore, the Houthis, who haveintensified attacks against Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea since November2023, claim these actions are in solidarity with Gaza. In response, Washingtonand London launched airstrikes on Houthi positions in early 2024, leading tosignificant casualties and infrastructure damage.
The Houthis have since declared allAmerican and British ships as military targets, extending their operations tovessels in the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, and other areas within theirreach.The spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense in Sanaa reported that morethan 211 commercial ships, belonging to the US, Israel, or the UK, had beentargeted, with several of them sunk.
