The Houthis vowed on Sunday to keep chasing vessels they believe to be affiliated with Israel, even after their sale to third-party interests.
The Yemeni rebel group’s spokesman Yahya Saree said any attempt to bypass its self-styled blockade on Israeli trade by transferring ships to third-party interests, or by switching their ownership, flag or registration, is futile.
The Houthis will maintain such assets on their target list, it was stressed.
