EXTREMELY SENSITIVE raw Intel from Yemen: The Bab El Mandab straight off the coast of Yemen connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. At this junction there are 20 submarine communications cables passing through this small area. These cables connect Europe, Asia, and Africa's communications.
EXTREMELY SENSITIVE raw Intel indicates the Houthis in Yemen are planning to CUT THEM.
This would instantly HALT most communications between Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Internet. Phones. Video . . . . all of it.
When the Nord Stream Pipeline was blown up in a clandestine act of war, no one repaired it and to this day, Europe is without a massive supply of natural gas.
That sabotage was clearly related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and was clearly designed to harm Russia (economically) but also had severe economic effect on Germany and much of Europe. The damage remains to this day.
Elsewhere, when Tahiti's volcano destroyed its submarine cable, it took a good 2 years to fix it.
So if the Houthis want to do __real__ damage to Israel and perhaps others, they may choose to cut those undersea communications cables. The harm would be immediate and last for years.
Hitting a container ship with missiles or drones is nothing compared to what could happen in this scenario. The economic damage would be monstrous to Europe, Asia and, to a lesser extent, Africa.
