Yemen's Huthi rebels hijack Israeli-linked ship in the Red Sea, 25 crew members hostage

Description

Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels said on Sunday that they had seized in the Red Sea a ship owned by an Israeli businessman and rerouted it to Yemen's coast. The vessel is operated by a Japanese firm, prompting Tokyo to intervene and "directly" approach the rebels. The announcement came days after the rebel group threatened to target Israeli vessels in the waterway over Israel's war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
