The targeting of another U.S.-owned commercial ship Wednesday shows the militant group remains intent on continuing its attacks in the face of multiple rounds of U.S. military airstrikes.

The Houthis launched anti-ship ballistic missiles at the U.S.-owned, flagged and operated commercial ship Maersk Detroit as it was transiting the Gulf of Aden, according to a statement from the U.S. Central Command. The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Gravely shot down two missiles and a third fell into the water. There were no indications of damage or injuries in the attack.

The U.S. military has been conducting airstrikes against the Houthis to degrade their capabilities since Jan.11, after several weeks of attacks on commercial ships by the militant group.

You're really trying to defend israel's genocide in any possible way. "No they allowed to stop genocide, they are the bad guys!"

I'm not here to simp for whatever war crimes they did internally. Just this specific action isn't one you should denounce.

There was a Houthi spokesperson on BBC. They told him the same thing. His response was very simple.

If other groups want to enhance their popularity by stopping genocide they're very welcome to do so.

How about you go stop israel's genocide if you don't want the Houthi's to do it?
