  • Summary: Yemen’s Houthis say they targeted Israeli ship in Arabian Sea SHOTLIST: SANAA, YEMEN (JUNE 25, 2024) (EDITORIAL USE ONLY – MANDATORY CREDIT - 'YEMEN'S HOUTHI PRESS OFFICE / HANDOUT' - NO MARKETING, NO RESALES, NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS) 1. YAHYA SAREE, YEMEN'S HOUTHI MILITARY SPOKESPERSON, GIVING BRIEFING (Arabic) AAVN SCRIPT: Yemen’s Houthi group said Tuesday (June 25) that it targeted an Israeli ship in the Arabian Sea with a new ballistic missile. In a recorded briefing, the group’s military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said its forces targeted the MSC SARAH V vessel, “resulting in a precise and direct hit.” Saree noted that “the missile used in this operation is a newly deployed ballistic missile that demonstrated its accuracy during trial runs.” “Notably, it has the capability to strike distant targets effectively,” he added. Israel has not issued a response to the statement. The Houthis have been targeting ships that are Israeli-owned, flagged, operated or headed to Israeli ports in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden with missiles and drones in solidarity with Gaza, which has been under a devastating Israeli onslaught since Oct. 7 last year. With the US and UK launching retaliatory airstrikes against Houthi sites inside Yemen, the Houthis declared that they consider all American and British ships military targets.
