Houthi Rebels Declare Total Naval Blockade Against Israel in Red Sea

Yemen's Houthi rebels officially declared a total maritime blockade against Israeli-affiliated shipping in the Red Sea on June 8, 2026. Military spokesperson Yahya Saree announced that all such vessels are now legitimate targets and claimed a missile strike on the Jaffa region of Tel Aviv. The missile was successfully intercepted by Israeli air defenses with no reported casualties. This move ends a period of relative maritime calm and complicates international efforts to secure vital shipping lanes.
