Four Shipping Majors Halt Vessels on Red Sea After Attacks

At least eight ships have reportedly come under attack by the Houthis in what is believed to be retaliation for the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Two global shipping majors suspended their vessels’ passage through the Red Sea on Friday: Denmark’s Maersk and Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd. Then on Saturday, the Italian-Swiss giant MSC and France’s CMA CGM also suspended the travel of their vessels through the Red Sea strait.

Since conflict first broke out between Israel and Hamas in early October, Yemen’s rebel Ansar Allah movement, known as the Houthis, have conducted multiple missile and drone attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea.

 The US Defense Department is considering directly striking the Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah’s (the Houthi) rebel military targets in Yemen in response to the escalating attacks on military and commercial shipping in the Red Sea, the US website Semafor reported citing sources.
