Suspected attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels targeted a ship in the Gulf of Aden, with a missile narrowly missing it. Meanwhile, Iraqi militants allied with the rebels claimed responsibility for a drone incident near Israel’s Eilat port, triggering alerts but causing no damage. These incidents follow the departure of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower after leading operations against Houthi assaults, disrupting key shipping routes. The Houthis are also accused of seizing planes returning pilgrims from Hajj, amid escalating economic disputes with Yemen’s exiled government.
