The Yemeni Army announced that it attacked an Israeli-owned oil tanker in the Red Sea—and using missiles, Mehr reports.

"We directly targeted an Israeli oil tanker in the northern Red Sea with a ballistic missile," the Yemeni Army said in a statement on Monday morning.

Yahya Saree, spokesperson for Yemen’s armed forces, announced that the said military operation was carried out in line with supporting the oppressed Palestinian people and their brave fighters, and in response to “the genocide and starvation crimes committed by the Zionist enemy [i.e. Israel] against our brothers in the Gaza Strip.”

Saree underlined that these operations will never stop except with the end of the war and the lifting of the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
