YEMEN HOUTHIS USA ISRAEL CONFLICT

Anti-US and Israel rally in Sana'a amid rising tensions with USA

epa11112608 Armed tribesmen loyal to Houthis take part in an anti-USA and anti-Israel rally, in Sana'a, Yemen, 29 January 2024. Yemen's Houthis have carried out a new assault on a US-owned navy ship while it was sailing through the Gulf of Aden, amid rising tensions with United States, according to a statement by Houthis' military spokesman Yahya Sarea. The Houthis have vowed to keep up attacks on ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, with the aim of ending the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, and in response to US-led retaliatory strikes. The US Department of State on 17 January 2024 announced the designation of Yemen's Houthis as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist group' amid an escalation of their attacks on shipping lanes in the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden since November 2023. The US Department of Defense announced in December 2023 a multinational operation to safeguard trade and protect ships in the Red Sea amid the escalation in Houthi attacks. EPA/YAHYA ARHAB
