The Ansar Allah group, commonly known as the Houthis, has escalated tensions in the Red Sea by attacking a Greek-flagged oil tanker, the Sounion. This incident is part of a broader campaign against vessels linked to Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, which has seen a tragic loss of life.
The footage released by the Houthis shows armed members storming the ship and igniting fires, resulting in significant explosions. This act of aggression has drawn international attention and raised concerns about maritime security in the region.
With the Houthis pledging to continue their operations against ships associated with Israel, the implications for global shipping routes and regional stability are profound, especially as the conflict in Gaza continues to escalate.
