Sudden! A cargo ship was hijacked in the Red Sea!

According to CCTV News, local time on the 19th, Yemen Houthi said they detained an Israeli ship in the Red Sea. However, Israel said that the detained ships do not belong to Israel, and there are no Israelis in the crew.

The detained vessel is reported to be the Galaxy Leader. The Israeli prime minister's office said the ship was a British vessel operated by a Japanese company. The statement said there were 25 crew members on board, none of whom were Israelis. 

Since Israel launched a large-scale military operation against the Gaza Strip, Houthi armed forces in Yemen have launched many attacks on Israel through drones and missiles, and threatened to attack Israeli ships in the Red Sea and anywhere else by various means.

The Red Sea, one of the busiest shipping channel in the world, stretches from Egypt's Suez Canal to the narrow Mande Strait that opens Arabia and is a key trade route for global shipping and energy supplies.

There is no doubt that this incident has once again aroused people's concern that if the Palestinian-Israeli conflict spreads, it may lead to a major disruption of shipping in the Middle East.

突发！一艘货船在红海遭劫持！

       据央视新闻消息，当地时间19日，也门胡塞武装表示在红海海域扣押了一艘以色列船只。不过以色列方面表示，被扣押船只并不属于以色列，船员中也没有以色列人。

       据了解，被扣押的船只为“Galaxy Leader”银河领袖号。以色列总理办公室表示这船船是一船英国船，由一家日本公司运营。声明称，船上有25名船员，其中没有以色列人。

       自以色列对加沙地带采取大规模军事行动以来，也门胡塞武装通过无人机和导弹对以色列发动多次袭击，并威胁称将在红海以及其他任何地方，通过多种手段对以色列船只发动袭击。

       红海是世界上最繁忙的航道之一。红海海域从埃及的苏伊士运河一直延伸到将阿拉伯开的狭窄的曼德海峡，堪称是全球航运和能源供应的关键贸易路线。

       毫无疑问的是，此次事件也再次引发了人们的担忧，如果巴以冲突的扩散，可能会导致中东地区航运出现重大中断。
