On the evening of July 27th, Yahya Saree, the military spokesperson of the Houthi forces in Yemen, announced that they would intensify their military support operations and implement the fourth phase of the maritime blockade. The targets of this phase include all vessels belonging to companies that have dealings with Israeli ports, regardless of their nationality or location. The Houthi forces have warned these companies to immediately cease their shipping activities with Israel, or their vessels will be targeted by missiles and drones.

  The Houthi forces have called on the international community to pressure Israel to stop its aggression against the Gaza Strip and lift the blockade. The statement emphasized that this action is based on moral and humanitarian support for the Palestinian people and promised that all military operations would cease immediately once Israel stops its aggression and lifts the blockade.
