Yemen's Houthi rebels have released a video showing their cruise missile hitting the merchant ship Minervagracht, with the ship on fire and the crew having abandoned it. The Houthi rebels claim that the merchant ship, which flies the Dutch flag, is transporting supplies for Israel. The merchant ship is currently drifting out of control in the Gulf of Aden and may eventually sink.
The Houthi rebels have blockaded the Strait of Bab el Mandeb in the Red Sea, causing significant losses to Israel. Eilat Port in Israel has declared bankruptcy. Israel has repeatedly attacked the Houthi rebels, but the decapitation operation has not harmed key Houthi personnel. Currently, US refueling aircraft are appearing in large numbers in the Middle East, and the outside world speculates that the United States may assist Israel in launching a large-scale strike against the Houthi rebels.
