Israel Strikes Cripple Yemen’s Fragmented Power System

Yemen’s Houthis have burst back onto the global stage with deadly maritime attacks in the Red Sea. To weaken the Houthis, Israel has again struck key links in their energy infrastructure, weakening the country’s already ailing power sector.
Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have returned with a vengeance over the past week. The group attacked and sunk both the Greek-owned bulk carriers Magic Seas (IMO: 9736169) and Eternity C (IMO: 9588249), killing at least three sailors and taking multiple hostages in their first attacks in the Red Sea since December.
It comes on the back of a fragile truce agreed between their ally Iran, the US, and Israel following 12 days of warfare (MEES, 27 June) and despite ongoing negotiations in Doha for a possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
