Houthi Resistance Disrupts Israeli, US Vessels in Yemen’s Waters in Solidarity with Gaza
US Bombs Yemen, But Houthi Blockade Holds: Resistance Sinks Israeli Trade While Demanding Gaza Ceasefire
Yemen, PUREWILAYAH.COM - Yemen’s Houthi resistance forces have once again enforced their blockade against Israeli and US-linked ships in Yemeni waters, reaffirming their commitment to Palestinian resistance. The operations, part of an ongoing campaign in response to Israel’s war on Gaza, have effectively halted the passage of vessels connected to Israel and its Western allies. The Houthis, officially known as Ansarullah, stated that these measures will continue until the siege on Gaza is lifted and Israeli aggression ends.
Using drones, missiles, and naval operations, the resistance has imposed significant pressure on maritime traffic in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait—critical routes for global trade. The disruptions have forced international shipping companies to take longer, costlier detours, highlighting the Houthis’ ability to challenge US and Israeli dominance in the region. Despite repeated US and British airstrikes on Yemen, the resistance has only strengthened its stance, framing its actions as a necessary response to ongoing Western-backed violence in Palestine.
The US, instead of addressing the root causes of regional instability, has chosen further militarization, launching strikes on Yemen while continuing to arm Israel’s assault on Gaza. This approach has failed to deter the Houthis while exacerbating tensions in the region. Meanwhile, Yemen, already suffering from nearly a decade of US-backed Saudi aggression, remains steadfast in its support for Palestinian liberation.
As the situation develops, the Houthi-led blockade underscores the growing resistance against US and Israeli influence in West Asia. Rather than de-escalating the conflict, Washington’s unwavering support for Israel ensures that regional confrontations will persist, with Yemen emerging as a key player in the struggle against occupation and oppression.
