No group has claimed responsibility for the attempted attack.
The Houthis (Ansarallah) declared today a military operation targeting the Israeli oil tanker Scarlet Ray in the northern Red Sea with a ballistic missile, asserting the vessel was directly hit.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported that the domestic intelligence agency Shin Bet has begun taking “exceptional measures” to secure senior officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, after threats against them emerged in the wake of Israeli airstrikes in Sanaa that killed Yemen’s Houthi-aligned Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahwi and several ministers.
Since October 2023, the Houthis have carried out repeated drone and missile strikes against Israeli targets, declaring the operations as part of their support for Palestinians in Gaza.
