ALBAWABA- In a bold move of solidarity with the Palestinian people facing aggression and blockade in Gaza, the naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces under Houthi control executed a targeted operation against the ship "Zografía." 

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree, in a statement, confirmed that the operation was carried out with several naval missiles that resulted in a direct hit.

The targeting operation was initiated after the ship's crew ignored multiple warning calls, including warning flares.

The Yemeni Armed Forces, according to Saree, are committed to implementing the decision to prevent Israeli navigation or any vessels associated with the Israeli enemy in the Red and Arabian Seas. 

This blockade will persist until the cessation of aggression and the lifting of the blockade on the resilient Palestinian people in Gaza.

As part of their legitimate right to defend Yemen, the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to take all necessary defensive and offensive measures.

 The Houthis commitment reaffirms their ongoing practical solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people, echoing a strong message of support in the face of adversity.
