The Houthis are becoming a global problem. Early this morning, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization (UKMTO) reported the hijacking of another ship near the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait - the gateway to the Red Sea from the Indian Ocean.

The identity of the ship is still not definitively clear, but apparently it is an oil tanker that made its way from the Persian Gulf towards the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. It was attacked by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that caused a fire on board and was followed by Yemeni Navy ships that demanded the captain change his route to a port in Yemen.

In the last two months, the Houthis have already attacked more than ten ships, some of them managed to escape, and some of them were robbed by them. The famous one is the ship carrying vehicles that is in a Yemeni port and has become a tourist attraction where hundreds of people come a day to examine the success of the Houthi Navy.

Most of the ships attacked are not Israeli or Israeli-owned. Some of them are partially Israeli owned. Zim has already announced that in the near future it will move its vessels to a detour route and in fact the ships will circle Africa on a route that extends the way by tens of thousands of kilometers and in about a month's time - which will delay the arrival of shipments and above all make them more expensive.
