Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels claimed they fired missiles at two ships in the Red Sea on Friday, as part of their campaign to pressure Israel over its war with Hamas.

“Container ships MSC PALATIUM and MSC ALANYA were targeted by two naval missiles as they were heading toward the Israeli entity,” Huthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a broadcast on the rebels’ television channel.
