Yemen's Houthi rebels have targeted and attacked multiple ships heading to Israel in the Red Sea, causing fires and damage. The attacks have escalated tensions, with the US and Gulf allies considering potential military action against the Iran-backed Houthis. The French Navy intercepted drones fired from Houthi-controlled areas, and the US Navy shot down suspected Houthi drones. The Houthis have claimed responsibility for the attacks and threatened to target any ships bound for Israel, regardless of nationality. Israeli leaders have warned of potential military action if the US does not act against the Houthis. The attacks pose a strategic threat to global shipping routes and seaborne traffic to Israel, prompting concerns of a maritime blockade of Israel.
