Yemen's Houthi rebels target ship in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait off Red Sea

Yemen's Houthi rebels attacked a ship in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, though it escaped undamaged. The incident ended an 18-day lull in rebel assaults. The Houthis have been attacking ships in the Red Sea corridor for nearly a year, disrupting international shipping. The rebels claim their attacks are to oppose Israels actions against Hamas in Gaza.
