Public opinion is sharply divided regarding the Houthi attacks; many express support for the Houthis as defenders of rights, particularly concerning Palestine, while others condemn the attacks due to the tragic loss of innocent lives and concerns over maritime safety. The sentiment reflects complex emotions, with a slight lean towards sympathy for Yemen's position but significant concern for the implications of the violence.

Yemen's Houthi rebels have once again targeted maritime traffic in the Red Sea, sinking the Liberian-flagged cargo vessel Eternity C. The attack resulted in at least three crew fatalities, with only six out of the 25 crew members rescued.

&gt;A statement from the European Union naval mission in the Red Sea said the crew of the ship included 22 sailors, among them 21 Filipinos and one Russian, as well as a three-member security team. Those rescued were five Filipinos and one Indian.

&gt;Three people also were killed during the hourslong attack on the ship, the EU force said, and their nationalities were not immediately known.

&gt;The armed rebels had attacked the ship with rocket-propelled grenades and small arms, later using two drones and two drone boats carrying bombs to strike the vessel, the EU force said. The Eternity C sank at 7:50 a.m. Wednesday, it added.

Worse case scenario. Members of the crew killed and missing, and now a crapload of fertilizer and steel (not including the ship itself) will sink to the bottom of the Red Sea.

"They've announced to us at least that they don't want to fight anymore," Trump said during an Oval Office photo-op with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. "They just don't want to fight, and we will honor that."

"And, they have capitulated," he added. "But more importantly, they -- we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships anymore."

That ship is not even remotely related to Israel, unless Houthis count "being on same planet" as proof of relations. They are just doing pure denial of shipping / piracy. 
Question is, why the sudden insane escalation - and why now?

How does killing Filipinos save Palestine? Can someone fill me in?

Werent these guys bombed back into stone age according to the supreme orange leader ?

Soooo, after operation Rough Rider and the negotiated deal with the Houthis, they are still shooting at Israel and non-US ships transiting between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman?

For anyone not following the middle-east that closely, this pretty much exactly what they were doing 12-18 months ago.

*There are two American destroyers believed to be operating in the Red Sea. However, the ships attacked had no U.S. ties and a ceasefire between the Houthis and America announced after the bombing campaign earlier this year still appears to be holding.*

One positive note in terms of the Israeli-Iran ceasefire, and the U.S. role in that.

The company could have requested for EU security forces, but didn't? Man, as a Filipino, I feel so gutted for these sailors who were treated like livestock by these companies.

So Trump is going to raise tarriffs on Yemen?

Houthis should ask the IRGC and Hamas how being a nuisance to the world worked out for them. They got a hurting coming their way.

there will be two types of areas - one is hell dominated by nation-state actors launching drones and the other will have to spend enormous energy and resources keeping the skies safe.

I'll give the Houthis credit. When it comes to blowing up unarmed trade ships and executing innocent people, they're almost undefeated.

Yemen needs to be invaded and cleansed from those groups by a coalition. Ignoring them will just make it worse for everyone in the region.

all those terrorists islamistic groups all over the world is scary.... they have taken over the power of so many countries by being there and killing people and playing their powers, nobody has the courage to destroy these devils

Trump the big deal maker made a deal with them and everything is all better. But the Houthis promise means just as much as a Trump promise does, apparently.

A Houthi missile attack affecting maritime shipping in the Red Sea raises safety concerns and impacts international shipping security.
