    The Houthis are Iranian-backed terrorists disrupting global commerce and threatening innocent sailors in vital shipping lanes. These unprovoked attacks on international vessels endanger maritime security and global trade worth $1 trillion annually. Israel has every right to defend itself and its allies from these terrorist operations.

    These attacks represent legitimate resistance against Israeli aggression and solidarity with Palestinians facing genocide in Gaza. The Houthis are enforcing a justified blockade against ships linked to the Israeli occupation, targeting only vessels that violate the ban on entering occupied Palestinian ports. Israel's strikes on Yemeni infrastructure are war crimes against civilian facilities.
