Yemeni rebels attempting to impose a blockade on Israel fired rockets on a British ship and reportedly managed to sink it, the first time it has succeeded since the start of Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza
"The private security firm Ambrey reported the British-registered, Lebanese-operated cargo ship had been on its way to Bulgaria after leaving Khorfakkan in the United Arab Emirates. "
This ship didn’t have a damn thing to do with Israel.
Not sure if you paid any attention the last months but the Brits joined America in their war on Yemen. They started bombing Yemen along with America to help israel’s Genocide.
And Britain subsequently got put on the Blocked Countries list
It’s truly astounding that you think Britain should just be able to bomb Yemen and not expect retaliation.
This was a Lebanese operated, British registered ship. I think the Houthis, supposedly in opposition to Israel, just killed people from Lebanon… which is also in opposition to Israel.
This is yet another reason why you don’t attack civilians. In a globalized world, people from any country can be working “under the flag” of another country. They just attacked civilians of a nation that has also been attacked by Israel.
Lebanon would be in full rights to attack the Houthis in retaliation. As you put it, they fucked around, and they may find out.

I’m sure the assistant engineer had a smartphone with a bookmark to a webpage about something that was made by Israel. So there.

The Houthis have not killed a single person so far during their entire blockade. All crews dismounted their ships on life boats
???
That’s surprisingly considerate.
