Israel has bombed a British-owned ship captured by the Houthis as part of a wave of air strikes against the Yemen-based terror group. The ship, Galaxy Leader, was hijacked in November 2023 by terrorists rappelling from a helicopter in a commando-style raid that caught the world’s attention.

Israel has carried out its first strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen since the Israel-Iran ceasefire, attacking ports and a power plant around midnight local time Sunday night into Monday morning.

Tensions explode as Israel launches major airstrikes on Yemen's ports and a power plant, triggering immediate retaliation from Houthi rebels. Missiles were fired back toward Israel, setting off alarms in Jerusalem and other cities.
