Thousands of people gathered to protest against the coalition created recently by the United States and denounce the Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip. The top Houthis leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi has vowed vengeance for the US Navy attack on three boats in the Red Sea on 31 December 2023, killing 10 Houthi fighters while trying to hijack the Danish container vessel Maersk Hangzhou. Yemen's Houthis have vowed to keep up attacks on Israeli-bound ships and prevent them from navigating in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait in retaliation for Israel's airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, according to Houthis military spokesman Yahya Sarea. The US Department of Defense announced on 18 December a multinational operation to safeguard trade and to protect ships in the Red Sea amid the recent escalation in Houthi attacks originating from Yemen.
