Houthi Rebels Seize Israeli-Linked Ship, Hold 25 Crew Members Hostage

Yemen's Houthi rebels have hijacked an Israeli-linked cargo ship in the Red Sea, taking 25 crew members hostage. The rebels, backed by Iran, claim they targeted the ship due to its connection to Israel and will continue to target ships linked to or owned by Israelis until the end of Israel's campaign against Hamas. Israeli officials blame the Houthis for the attack and condemn it as an "Iranian act of terror." The incident raises concerns about escalating tensions in the region and the potential for a wider conflict.
