What are the options of the Zionist entity to face Sanaa’s ban on passage of Israeli ships in Red Sea?
SANAA, Nov. 16 (YPA) – Just hours after the speech of the Leader of the Yemeni Revolution, Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, in which he announced that the Yemeni armed forces would search for any Israeli ship in the Red Sea and target it in support of the Palestinian people. Sanaa forces announced the start of all practical measures to implement the directives issued regarding the appropriate handling of any Israeli ship in the Red Sea.
With this announcement, the forces of Sanaa put the Zionist entity between two options, the first is to divert course all Zionist ships to routes other than the Red Sea, including the Cape of Good Hope, which will incur heavy losses on the Zionist entity, especially if added to the losses incurred by the entity’s economy as a result of the aggression on Gaza.
The second option is to enter into a naval war with Sanaa to protect its ships during their passage through the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the waters of the Red Sea.
This option is even worse than the first one for the Zionist entity, which is fighting a war in Gaza and has not been able to achieve any progress until today, in light of the great threats from the factions of the Axis of Resistance in Lebanon and Iraq, and the possibility of aligning these factions with Sana’a if the Zionist entity decides to commit any folly in the Red Sea.
Also, the Zionist entity takes Sanaa’s military capabilities into consideration, especially since it now possesses an advanced naval arsenal that can destroy any Zionist forces or warships that may enter the Red Sea, including boats, missiles, and mines.
The boats including Asef 1, Asef 3, Asef 2, Malah, and Tufan boats, representing their 3 generations. In addition to the boat type “Nazdir”, which is a home-made combat boat with maneuverability capabilities and carrying medium weapons and air defences. The boat has multiple combat missions, including intercepting moving maritime targets, boarding ships, and raiding islands.
Sanaa forces also possess many naval missiles, including the “Siyad Missile”, which is a cruise missile with a range of up to 800 km, known for its high precision and stealth capabilities against enemy radars. It can be launched from any point in Yemeni territory towards the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden. It is used to strike both stationary and moving targets, with a warhead weighing 200 kg.
They also have the Sejil Maritime Missile, which is a winged cruise missile with a range of 180 km, fueled by both solid and liquid propellants. It has a length of 3.6 meters and a warhead weighing 100 kg. It is known for its accuracy and can hit any target anywhere in the Red Sea.
Moreover, the Yemeni naval forces have deadly sea mines, including Owais, Mujahid, Karrar, Asif, Piercing, and Masjour, all have great destructive capacity.
In light of the previous data, we can say that Yemen’s decision to ban the passage of the Zionist entity’s ships in the Red Sea will represent a major pressure tool on the Zionist entity, and will result in major changes in the course of the Zionist entity’s war on Gaza.
The Zionist entity cannot bear the repercussions of this decision, even if it appears that it does not care about this ban currently. The condition for Sana’a to lift the ban on the passage of Zionist ships in the Red Sea may be part of the pressure required from the Zionist entity to stop the aggression against Gaza.
