Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, announced on Monday a ban on the passage of Israeli-linked vessels through the Red Sea.
"The Yemeni Armed Forces launched a missile barrage targeting sensitive Israeli enemy targets in the occupied Yaffa region, the missile strikes achieved their objectives with precision. And in this context, the Armed Forces affirm the following: First: We declare a complete and total ban on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, and we consider all enemy movements to be legitimate military targets for our Armed Forces from the moment this statement is issued," the movement said in a statement on Telegram.
The movement also threatened to step up operations against Israel in coordination with other fronts, the statement added.
