MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, also known as Houthis, has announced the first joint operation with Iraqi military groups against Israeli ships in port of Haifa.
"The Yemeni Armed Forces carried out two joint military operations with the Iraqi Islamic Resistance, the first targeted two ships carrying military equipments in the port of Haifa. While the second targeted a ship that violated the decision to ban entry to the port of Haifa in occupied Palestine. The two operations were carried out with a number of UAVs, and the strikes... were accurate," the movement said on telegram.

Houthis vowed in November 2023 to attack any ships associated with Israel until it halts military actions in the Gaza Strip. Amid the Houthi attacks, some companies suspended shipments through the Red Sea.
