News - Middle East: British media has revealed ties between the ships Magic Seas and Eternity C and the Israeli regime and its ports.

“The two ships targeted in the Red Sea, Magic Seas and Eternity C, belong to companies that regularly operate vessels heading to Israeli ports,” the UK-based maritime magazine Lloyd’s List, which specializes in shipping affairs, reported.

It added: “While Eternity C was sailing in the Red Sea, the company operating it had a container ship en route at the same time to the Port of Haifa.”

Tensions in the Red Sea have sharply escalated after Israeli-linked vessels openly violated Yemen’s declared naval blockade by docking in occupied Palestinian ports, despite repeated warnings from the Yemeni Armed Forces.

The sinking of the Magic Seas by Yemeni forces came after the company repeatedly defied the ban, sending multiple ships to ports in occupied Palestine.

This escalation marks a turning point in Yemen’s maritime campaign. By targeting vessels tied to Israel’s supply chain, Yemen is enforcing its blockade with increasing resolve, transforming the Red Sea into a critical front in the broader regional struggle surrounding the war on Gaza. The confirmation by Lloyd’s List lends international credibility to Yemen’s position and signals growing risks for commercial shippers operating in defiance of the blockade.
