Yemen strikes US commercial ship bound for Israeli regime

Yemen strikes US commercial ship bound for Israeli regime

TEHRAN, (MNA) – Yemen's Armed Forces strike an American commercial vessel bound for the occupied Palestinian territories in continued support for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The operation took place on Wednesday, the forces' announced through their spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sare, Press TV reported on Thursday.

"American Commercial ship, KOI, was targeted with appropriate naval missiles, while heading towards the occupied Palestinian ports," Saree said.

The forces have been conducting many such operations against Israeli vessels or those heading towards the occupied Palestinian territories' ports.

The operations have been described as a response to an October 7, 2023-present war and siege that the Israeli regime has been waging against Gaza following an operation carried out by the Palestinian territory's resistance movements.

Nearly 27,000 Palestinians, mostly women, children, and adolescents, have died so far in the war, which enjoys untrammeled military and political support on the part of the United States, the Israeli regime's biggest ally.

The operation against the merchant ship came just hours after the Yemeni forces fired "several" missiles at USS Gravely, an American Navy warship, just off the Yemeni coast in the Red Sea.
