Yemen's Houthis said on Tuesday they will attack any Israeli ship that violates the group's ban on Israeli ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden, effective immediately.

The leader of Yemen's Houthis said on Friday that the group would resume its naval operations against Israel if Israel did not lift a blockage of aid into Gaza within four days.
