The Iran-backed Houthis, who have controlled the Yemeni capital Sana'a and other areas in the north and west of the country since 2015, have launched several attacks against Israeli-linked ships as part of Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip , launched after the attacks carried out on 7 October by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
