With continued tensions in the Red Sea, the Houthi group, Iran's arm in Yemen, announced it was carrying out a joint military operation with Iraqi groups, during which it targeted a ship in the Israeli port of Haifa.

Yahya Saree, the military spokesman for the Yemeni Houthi group, said on Wednesday that the Houthis allied with Iran targeted a ship in the port of Haifa in Israel in a joint military operation with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

He also added in a speech broadcast on television, today, that the operation targeted the ship (MSC Manzanillo) in the port of Haifa.

Last Sunday, the Houthi group in Yemen announced that it had carried out a joint military operation with Iraqi groups, during which it targeted 4 ships in the Israeli port of Haifa.

The group stated that it attacked the ships because they violated the decision to ban entry to Israeli ports, according to what it said.

While the Israeli army has not yet issued a comment about the two incidents.
