Original Note:
The ship, Galaxy Leader, is not an Israeli warship. It is a Japanese-operated vehicle cargo ship captured by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, allegedly supported by Iran. Israel claims the ship is British-owned, but it appears to be at least partly owned by an Israeli billionaire. https://apnews.com/article/israel-houthi-rebels-hijacked-ship-red-sea-dc9b6448690bcf5c70a0baf7c7c34b09 https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/20/yemen-houthi-rebels-seize-cargo-ship-galaxy-leader-red-sea-israel https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/seized-galaxy-leader-ship-yemens-hodeidah-port-area-owner-2023-11-20/
