“Operations in the Red and Arabian Seas, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden are continuing, escalating, and effective,” Abdul Malik al-Houthi added in a televised speech. He gave no details of the submarine weapons.

Ships owned by individuals or entities in Israel, the U.S. and U.K. or sailing under their flags are banned from the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea, Thursday’s notices said.

“The Humanitarian Operations Center was established in Sanaa to coordinate the safe and peaceful passage of ships and vessels that have no connection to Israel,” a senior Houthi official told Reuters on Thursday.

No ships have been sunk nor crew killed during the Houthi campaign. However there are concerns about the fate of the UK-registered Rubymar cargo vessel, which was struck on Feb. 18 and its crew evacuated.

    Yes. It is these “cheap bribes” to media and government officials that allow israel to have so much influence. The amount of money that israel spends on propaganda is peanuts for what they are getting in return.

    But many independent content creators are undoing all of israel’s hard work for an even smaller fraction of the cost.

    It’s like how non-profits found out that if you spend a large percentage of donated money on advertising, you actually earn way more, and thus can actually donate more money to poor people.

    Which sounds really stupid but it is reality.

    I believe the best way to spend your money by far right now to stop the Genocide in Palestine is not by donating food, but donating to independent media fighting israel’s lies.
