This event represents the first documented use of coordinated unmanned boats and missiles by the Houthis, demonstrating a technological evolution in maritime warfare. The unprecedented loss of two vessels within 24 hours, combined with the specific targeting capability to identify Israel-bound ships, indicates a sophisticated military advancement not previously seen in regional naval conflicts.

📰 What Happened
On July 9, 2025, Yemen's Houthi rebels attacked the Liberian-flagged cargo ship Eternity C in the Red Sea using unmanned boats and missiles, killing three sailors and wounding two. Six crew members were rescued by EU forces, while 19 remain missing. The Greek-owned vessel sustained significant damage and sank off Yemen's Hodeidah port. This attack, following the sinking of Magic Seas one day prior, marks a resurgence in Houthi maritime operations targeting vessels allegedly linked to Israel.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The timing of this revival in Houthi attacks after months of calm aligns with prophetic markers of escalating maritime warfare in the end times. The use of unmanned vessels fulfills Revelation's description of weapons that would have been incomprehensible to ancient writers. The specific targeting of Israel-bound ships near the biblical 'Kings of the East' pathway (Red Sea) connects to Revelation 16:12. The coordination between Houthi forces and their ability to rescue crew members suggests an organized military capability that contributes to the prophesied northern confederation against Israel.
