This is the best summary I could come up with:


The group has vowed to target vessels which it believes are heading to and from Israel in an attempt to put pressure on the country to stop bombing the Gaza Strip.

Rebel spokesperson Brigadier Yahya Saree said: “The Yemeni armed forces confirm they will continue to prevent all ships heading to Israeli ports from navigating in the [Red Sea] until they bring in the food and medicine that our steadfast brothers in the Gaza Strip need.”

Shipping firm Mowinckel said the vessel was carrying biofuel from Malaysia to Italy, but later disclosed it had also been “tentatively” scheduled to make a stop at the Israeli port of Ashdod.

In November, the Houthis also seized a cargo ship allegedly linked to Israel in the Red Sea which they are still holding near the port city of Hodeida.

Last weekend Israel’s national security adviser Tzachi Hanegbi called on its Western allies to do more to tackle the attacks - and warned his country would “act to remove this blockade” if the threats continued.

Sky news is a propaganda outlet and should be avoided if any less biased alternatives exist.

How is this propaganda?

Propaganda outlets also share genuine news, which drives views and improves trust in the platform and strengthens their ability to deliver propaganda.
