Accounts on “X” recently published a photo showing a burning ship, claiming that it was an American warship targeted by the Houthis in the Red Sea, “Breaking: Yemeni attack on American warships and large explosions in various areas in the Red Sea.”
Kashif verified the image via “Google Images” tool and found that it is old and that the claim is misleading, as it was taken from an old video clip published by the Yemeni War Media website on 23/8/2024, with the following description: “Scenes of the Yemeni naval forces burning the Greek ship SOUNION in the Red Sea, whose owner company violated the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Palestine.”
By examining the video clip, Kashif’s team found that the image falls between 57 seconds and 1:02 minutes of the Yemeni war media video.
The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced in a statement on “X” on 17/11/2024 that the Yemeni Armed Forces targeted a number of targets in the Jaffa and Ashkelon areas with a number of drones.
