“19 October 2023, Yemen’s Houthi movement initiated a series of attacks, targeting Southern Israel and the ships in the Red Sea it claimed were linked to Israel. During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, the Houthi movement in Yemen, aligned with Hamas, launched attacks targeting Israel.” Wikipedia
BBC: “Who are the Houthis and why are they attacking Red Sea ships? The US and UK have carried out strikes on Houthi bases in Yemen, after the group repeatedly attacked ships in the Red Sea.”
“The Houthis are an Iran-backed rebel group which considers Israel an enemy.”
“Why are the Houthis attacking Red Sea ships?
Following the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis started firing drones and missiles towards Israel. Most have been intercepted.”
“On 19 November, the Houthis hijacked a commercial ship in the Red Sea and have since attacked more than two dozen others with drones, missiles and speed boats. US-led naval forces thwarted many of the attacks.”
