Houthi special forces hijack ’Galaxy Leader’ ship and hold crew at gunpoint on Red Sea

This is the moment Iran-backed rebels hijacked a ship near Yemen. Houthi special forces fast-roped on to the deck of ‘Galaxy Leader’, a car-carrying ship as it sailed through the ‘Gate of Grief’, a narrow strait off the Yemeni coast, on Sunday. Video shows masked men holding the ship’s crew at gunpoint. The Houthis have said they will shoot, sink or seize any vessels with links to Israel that come near its coast. Galaxy Leader has no direct links to Israel, but is registered under a British company that is joint-owned by an Israeli billionaire. #dailymail #israel #houthi Daily Mail Homepage: Daily Mail Facebook: Daily Mail IG: Daily Mail Snap: Daily Mail Twitter: Daily Mail Pinterest: Get the free Daily Mail mobile app:
