US Navy Rescues Hijacked Israeli-linked Ship

The U.S. Navy on Sunday intervened in the hijacking of an Israeli-linked ship in the Gulf of Aden. 

According to the U.S. Central Command, the USS Mason and allied ships responded to a distress call from a commercial vessel, Central Park, that they were being attacked by an “unknown entity.”

After the coalition vessels arrived and demanded the release of the ship, five armed individuals attempted to flee but were pursued and eventually surrendered. 

Shortly afterwards, two ballistic missiles were fired from a Houthi-controlled area in Yemen, but they fell far short. 

“Maritime domain security is essential to regional stability,” said Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, USCENTCOM commander. “We will continue to work with allies and partners to ensure the safety and security of international shipping lanes.”

The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels attacked multiple commercial vessels last week in the Red Sea, including the Central Park.
