Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree has announced that the naval blockade on Israeli interests will remain in effect until military actions in Gaza and Lebanon end.
In a statement, Saree disclosed that intelligence indicates many Israeli-affiliated maritime shipping companies are attempting to bypass Yemen’s sanctions by selling assets and transferring ownership of ships to third parties or registering under new names.

“The Yemeni Armed Forces will disregard any changes in ownership or flags of Israeli-linked vessels,” Saree emphasized, warning that any entity dealing with these companies or ships could face punitive measures. He reiterated that all vessels associated with or en route to ‘Israel’ remain targets within the Yemeni Armed Forces’ operational area, as outlined in previous statements.
Saree concluded by affirming Yemen’s commitment to enforcing the blockade, which will persist until the siege on Gaza is lifted and hostilities in Lebanon cease.
