The targeting of the Galaxy Leader - a hijacked ship being used as a maritime surveillance platform - represents a new evolution in naval warfare tactics in prophetic regions.

📰 What Happened
Israel conducted airstrikes on multiple Houthi-controlled Yemeni ports including Hudaydah, Ras Issa, and al-Salif, plus the captured cargo ship Galaxy Leader. The strikes, involving 20 fighter jets, targeted ports allegedly used for Iranian weapons transfers. The Houthis claimed successful defense and launched two retaliatory missiles toward Israel, triggering sirens in the West Bank and southern Israel. No casualties were reported.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The geographic significance centers on Yemen's biblical identity as Sheba, whose queen once visited Solomon (1 Kings 10). These ports - Hudaydah, Ras Issa, and al-Salif - lie along ancient maritime trade routes that connected Sheba to Israel. The Israeli strike on 20 jets targeting these specific harbors mirrors Ezekiel 38's description of coastal conflicts involving multiple nations. The Houthis' transformation of the Galaxy Leader into a surveillance platform at these ports echoes Daniel's prophecies about control of maritime trade routes in the last days.
