In a statement issued by the Yemeni Naval Forces on Wednesday, the Yemeni resistance vowed to continue its operations against "Israel" until it ceases its aggression on Gaza and its crimes against the Palestinian people.
"We reaffirm that our operations target ships flying the Israeli flag, operated by Israeli companies, or owned by Israeli individuals," the statement read.

They also urged "all passing ships in the Red Sea not to sail near Israeli ships and to keep their identification devices active."
"We warn all companies and traders against shipping their goods and conducting business with Israeli ships or engaging in any dealings with them," they further warned. "We caution that any military unit protecting Israeli ships will be a legitimate target for our operations."

The Yemeni resistance noted that the seizure of the ship could potentially lead to the cancellation of shipping lines to the Israeli regime.
According to Israeli media reports, if this does truly occur, it would inevitably result in prices of goods skyrocketing, potentially impacting food security.
It is worth noting that Ansarullah's leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned two days ago that the Yemeni armed forces would continue to seize occupation ships in the Red Sea, noting that "we will not hesitate to target them and let the whole world know about this."
