A young Yemeni man named Rashid Al Haddad, also known as ‘Timhouthi Chalamet,’ has gained online popularity by posting videos of himself touring a captured cargo ship in the Red Sea. While his TikTok account mysteriously disappeared, his Instagram page is still live. The videos provide a unique perspective on an escalating conflict in the region. Criticism arises from the glamorization of the Houthi group, accused of war crimes and human rights violations.

Israel Deploys Missile Ships to Red Sea Amid Increased Attacks by Iran-backed Militants

Israel has deployed missile ships to the Red Sea to counter increased attacks by Iran-backed militants. The ships will join US Navy vessels already stationed in the area. The deployment comes after Houthi militants in Yemen claimed responsibility for firing missiles and drones at Israel. Israeli forces intercepted the threats, and Israel also used its Arrow air-defense system to intercept a surface-to-surface missile. The escalation of attacks by Iran-backed groups in the Middle East has prompted a response from both Israel and the US. Israel’s deployment aims to strengthen defensive efforts and prevent conflict escalation, while the US has conducted self-defense strikes on facilities associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
