Yemens Houthis Release Dramatic Footage of India-Bound Cargo Ship Hijacked in Red Sea

Newly released video footage captured by the Houthi-run Al Masirah TV channel shows armed men dropping from a helicopter and seizing a cargo ship in the southern Red Sea. The Houthi group has claimed the ship is linked to Israel, while Israel has stated that the vessel is British-owned and Japanese-operated. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the incident, calling it "another act of Iranian terrorism". The hijacking comes amid heightened tensions in the region following Israel's war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
