<p>A recent report from the <em>US Defense Intelligence
Agency</em> revealed that the Yemeni Resistance has
conducted no fewer than 175 attacks on US naval
vessels, coalition ships, and commercial vessels in
the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since November 19.</p>
<p>Yemeni operations have prompted 29 major energy and
shipping companies to change their shipping routes in
order to avoid being targeted.</p>
<p>As a result, container shipping in the Red Sea has
plummeted by 90% since December 2023.</p>
<p>In response to the disruption in traditional shipping
routes, alternative shipping routes around Africa have
been utilized.</p>
<p>However, these routes add an additional 11,000
nautical miles to the journey, resulting in 1-2 weeks
of extended transit time and an increase of one
million dollars in fuel costs per trip.</p>

in facing Yemen at sea, escalation ongoing</a></strong></p>
<p>Yemen, among the most impoverished and food-insecure
countries in the world due to years of sanctions and
Western-backed aggression, has been actively engaged
in blockading the Israeli economy by preventing ships
from reaching the occupied territories.</p>
<p>The purpose of doing so is to pressure the Israeli
regime to halt its genocidal campaign against the
people of Gaza.</p>
<p>Following Yemeni actions, allies of "Israel," namely
the US and the UK, formed a naval coalition to counter
Yemeni operations and reopen sea routes to the
occupied territories.</p>
<p>UN experts have previously acknowledged that <a

moz-do-not-send="true">acts of genocide</a> are
being committed in Gaza.</p>
<p>The ICC has filed applications for warrants of arrest
against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
Security Minister Yoav Gallant. </p>
<p>Last month, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced the "<a
href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yaf-target-two-israeli-ships--one--israel--bound-ship"
moz-do-not-send="true">fourth phase of escalation</a>"
targeting Israeli and Israeli-linked ships in
international waters.</p>
<p>The range of operations has now come to include ships
transiting the Mediterranean Sea.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, the YAF fired seven cruise
missiles and four attack drones at the <a

moz-do-not-send="true">On January 17</a>, the US
announced it officially designated the Ansar Allah
Movement as a global terrorist group, citing attacks
on naval vessels as a driver of the decision.</p>
<p>In response to the decision, the head of the
movement's Negotiating Envoy and top official,
Mohammad Abdul-Salam said that the classification "is
ironically amusing, coming from the global state of
terrorism."</p>
<p>The committee said that its decision is "an honorary
badge," highlighting the group's "supportive stance
toward the Palestinian people."</p>
