Recent attacks by the Houthis of Yemen on ships transiting the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea have garnered much attention globally. The attacks began as an attempt to stop Israeli ships from passing through the area as punishment for the war in Gaza and have disrupted normal shipping operations of global logistics companies. Responses to the attacks include U.S. and British airstrikes against Houthi areas in Yemen and the re-designation of the group as “global terrorists” by the Biden administration. There are now troubling reports that the Houthis may damage or cut submarine communications cables to Europe as an extension of their operations.
