The Zioneer reports that the Greater and Lesser Hanish Islands in the Red Sea are now under full control of the armed forces of Yemen, building on earlier reporting of Houthi seizure.
01 · THE DISPATCH
The Zioneer reports that the Greater and Lesser Hanish Islands in the Red Sea are under the control of the armed forces of Yemen. This follows The Zioneer's earlier bulletin from 16:36 Jerusalem that Iran-backed Houthi forces had seized the islands and landed on Mayun Island. The current status indicates the islands are now firmly held by Yemeni forces, which are largely aligned with the Houthi movement. The development has implications for Red Sea shipping lanes near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
