Footage released earlier by the Israeli Air Force from last night’s operation against the Port of Al-Hudaydah in Western Yemen shows several strikes last night by fighter jets against the M/V Galaxy Leader, a Bahamian-flagged and Japanese-owned roll-on/roll-off vehicle carrier that was attacked and hijacked by the Iranian-backed Houthis in November 2023, with the crew being taken hostage and ship turned into a “mothership” for attacks against other commercial ships. According to the Israel Defense Force, the Houthis had recently installed a maritime radar on the ship that they were using for attacks in the Red Sea.
