Saudi Arabia's Arab News reported on January 20th that shipping operators had posted notices on maritime monitoring websites stating that they had no prior connections with Israel before their ships entered the Red Sea to avoid attacks by Houthi forces in Yemen in that region.

The Houthi forces stated that they would not target ships passing through the Red Sea, the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, or the Gulf of Aden, provided that the ships notified Israel of their destination in advance or declared on maritime traffic monitoring websites that they had no ties to Israel.

Arab News reported that at least two ships that docked in Djibouti posted notices on Marinetraffic.com stating that "they have no ties to Israel" before entering Egypt's Suez Canal via the Red Sea.

Since November 2023, Houthi forces have seized a commercial vessel and carried out more than 20 drone and missile attacks targeting commercial and naval ships transiting the Red Sea, the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden.

The Houthi rebels claim their forces are only targeting Israeli ships or ships traveling to Israel in order to force Israel to lift its blockade of the Gaza Strip.
