“Escalating Tensions: Houthi Rebels Claim Joint Raid on Israeli Ships in Yemen Conflict”
Jun 23(Jowhar.com)-The ongoing conflict in Yemen has taken a new turn with the recent claim by the Houthi rebels of conducting a joint raid on Israeli ships along with an Iraqi militia group. The Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran, have been fighting against the Yemeni government and a Saudi-led coalition since 2014.
The Houthi rebels have accused Israel of supporting the Saudi-led coalition in the conflict, which has led to increased tensions between the two sides. The joint raid on Israeli ships is seen as a retaliation against Israel’s alleged support for the Saudi-led coalition.
The Houthis released a statement claiming responsibility for the joint raid, stating that they targeted Israeli ships in the Red Sea. The statement also mentioned the involvement of an Iraqi militia group, although the specifics of the group were not provided.
The Israeli government has not yet responded to the claims made by the Houthi rebels. However, this incident has raised concerns about the escalating tensions in the region and the potential for further violence.
The conflict in Yemen has already caused immense suffering to the Yemeni people, with millions facing food insecurity and a lack of access to basic services. The involvement of external actors, such as Iran and Israel, has only complicated the situation further.
It remains to be seen how the international community will respond to this latest development in the conflict. The joint raid on Israeli ships has highlighted the complex web of alliances and rivalries in the region, and the potential for further escalation of violence.
As the conflict in Yemen continues to rage on, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize the well-being and safety of the Yemeni people. A peaceful resolution to the conflict is the only way to bring an end to the suffering and devastation that has plagued the country for far too long.
