Earlier on Sunday, the Yemeni Naval Forces managed to capture an Israeli ship in the depths of the Red Sea, sources familiar with the matter told Al Mayadeen.
Reportedly, 52 people aboard the Israeli ship, presumably a vehicle carrier, were detained, Al Mayadeen's sources added, revealing that the Yemeni Armed Forces were working on revealing their identities and nationalities.
The ship is called the Galaxy Leader. It is Bahamian-flagged but owned by an Israeli businessman.

"Await what will warm your hearts," a Yemeni military source said, confirming the authenticity of the news Al Mayadeen reported.
The Yemeni Armed Forces used a helicopter and hovered with it over the Israeli ship before rappelling down to the deck and taking control of it.
