Houthi attacks on a commercial vessel in the Red Sea follow Israeli strikes on Yemen's ports, heightening regional tensions.

Two Liberian-flagged ship attacks and a round of Israeli airstrikes early Monday targeting Houthi rebels raised fears of a renewed Houthi campaign against shipping.

A crew in the Red Sea was forced to abandon ship after it was hit by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Sunday, the first attack of its kind since President Trump announced a truce in May after he said the group promised to stop attacking Middle Eastern waterways.
