Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Saree said in a statement
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/saree-warns-against-israeli-asset-transfers-to-evade-yaf-ope>
on 3 November that Israeli shipping firms are attempting to sell their
assets, transfer their properties, or register them under different names
in order to avoid Sanaa’s operations.

The spokesman affirmed that these methods will not save Israeli-linked
ships from being targeted.

“Intelligence confirms that many companies operating in maritime shipping,
affiliated with the Israeli enemy, are working to sell their assets and
transfer their properties from shipping and maritime transport ships to
other companies or register them in the names of other parties, to
circumvent the punitive measures taken by the Republic of Yemen,” Saree
said.

The Yemeni army “will not take into consideration any change in the
ownership or flag of the Israeli enemy ships,” and warns “all concerned
parties against dealing with these companies or ships as they are subject
to punishment and are prohibited from crossing the Yemeni Armed Forces’
area of operations.”

The Armed Forces of Yemen’s Sanaa government started its maritime
operations against Israeli shipping in November last year, inflicting
significant damage on Israel’s economy and on global shipping as a whole.

Following the start of the US–UK bombing campaign against Yemen in January,
Yemeni forces began targeting US and British warships. Washington launched a
brutal attack <https://thecradle.co/articles-id/27309> on Yemen using B2
stealth bombers and bunker buster bombs in mid-October.

Sanaa has also carried out numerous drone and missile
<https://thecradle.co/articles-id/27105> operations targeting the Israeli
depth.

“In support of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance and within the
framework of the fifth phase of the escalation, the Yemeni Armed Forces'
drone force carried out a qualitative military operation targeting the
Israeli enemy's industrial zone in the Ashkelon region, south of occupied
Palestine,” the Yemeni army announced
<https://thecradle.co/articles-id/27475> on 29 October.

A day earlier, it said it hit three ships in the Red Sea and Arab Seas –
the SC Montreal, the Maersk Kowloon, and the Motaro – with drones and
missiles.
