Original Note:
It is inaccurate to say this is “Yemeni video”. This video was shot by Houthi Rebels - not by Yemen’s internationally recognized government. Houthi Rebels, who have been at war with the Yemeni government since 2014, confirmed their hijacking of the cargo ship. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67470711 https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/yemens-houthi-rebels-claim-attacks-israel-drawing-main-104514030 https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1830070/yemen-houthi-israel-iran-war https://www.britannica.com/topic/Houthi-movement https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/19/yemens-houthi-rebels-seize-cargo-ship-in-red-sea-israel-blames-iran
