Houthis sink second Red Sea cargo ship in a week

Six crew members have been rescued and at least three others killed after a cargo ship was attacked by Yemen's Houthis and sank in the Red Sea, a European naval mission says. The Liberian-flagged, Greek-operated Eternity C was carrying 25 crew when it sustained significant damage and lost all propulsion after being hit by rocket-propelled grenades fired from small boats on Monday, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency.

Didn't Trump say that he got the Houthis to surrender?

Few nations are helping the Palestinians who are getting slaughtered every day by the Israelis, but the tribal Shia Muslim Houthis are doing what they can to help the Sunni Palestinians. Too bad about the civilian casualties; the Houthis want to damage Israel's war economy, not kill Filipino crew members who are just trying to live like anybody else.

#2: Hi Zed: The ceasefire is only between the US and the Houthis. The murderous Israelis are not included in Dummkopf Trumpf's ceasefire agreement with the Houthis.
