Israeli Defense Forces struck three ports in Yemen, alleging that the ports are used by the Houthi forces to "transfer weapons from the Iranian regime."

Israeli forces have struck Yemeni ports and the Galaxy Leader ship, alleging Houthi rebels used the ports to transport Iranian weapons and had equipped the hijacked vessel with a radar system for tracking maritime traffic to facilitate terrorist activities.

The ship was taken to the coast of Yemen after it was hijacked, and was turned into a showcase of the Houthis’ war against Israel and the West. The Israeli Air Force targeted the Galaxy Leader cargo ship as part of strikes on Houthi-controlled targets across Yemen late on Sunday night.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei attended a religious gathering on Saturday, according to Iranian state media outlet Press TV, the first time he has appeared in public in several weeks.
