The Yemeni Armed Forces say they will continue to hit all Israel-linked ships in nearby waters, regardless of any change in their ownership or flags.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree said on Sunday that many shipping companies affiliated with Israel are trying to bypass Yemen’s punitive measures by selling their assets to other companies or changing their registration.
Saree warned that all parties dealing with these companies and vessels are subject to punishment and prohibited from crossing the Yemeni Armed Forces’ zone of operations.
He added that any change in the ownership or flags of the Israel-linked ships won’t save them from Yemen’s measures.
“Intelligence information confirms that many Israeli enemy shipping companies are working to sell their assets and transfer their maritime shipping and transport properties to other companies or register them under other names as a means of circumventing the punitive measures imposed by the Republic of Yemen on those ships and companies,” he said.
