The US has attacked Houthi ships in the Red Sea for the fourth time in the past week, which is continuing their retaliation against their attacks. Yemen's Houthi rebels are striking cargo ships in protest of Israel's war on Palestine, and they refuse to stop until the attacks on Gaza cease. Missiles have been hitting ships across the Red Sea for months, and it is ramping up. In response, the US and UK have been launching missiles back across Yemen to hit the Houthi bases and silos, but the strikes continue. However, they are being very careful as to not escalate the conflict into a war.
