Because of the war between Israel and Hamas, tension has risen in the Red Sea, which since November has become the scene of several attacks against merchant shipping by Iran-backed Yemeni rebels. The Houthis claim they are targeting ships linked to Israel in a show of solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
A senior Houthi official warned earlier today that “all US-British interests (have become) legitimate targets” for the rebels after the strikes.
