News - World: The US Navy announced on Friday the withdrawal of its largest naval assets from the Red Sea.

The US Navy claimed that the aircraft carrier "USS Dwight D. Eisenhower" and the destroyer "USS Gravely" withdrew from the Red Sea to the eastern Mediterranean and the withdrawal announcement did not include the destroyers "USS Mason" and "USS Philippine Sea" in the Red Sea.

It indicated that the aircraft carrier "USS Dwight D. Eisenhower" and the destroyer "USS Gravely" crossed the Suez Canal today, Friday, to the eastern Mediterranean, after leaving the Red Sea.

The "USNI News" website, affiliated with the US Navy, said that the departure of the aircraft carrier "USS Dwight D. Eisenhower" from the Red Sea leaves the US Central Command area without a strike carrier group or a ready amphibious group for the first time since last October.

Since November 19, 2023, until April 27, 2024, the Yemeni Armed Forces have revealed dozens of maritime operations targeting 12 Israeli ships, dozens of American destroyers, frigates, 11 British ships, and more than 11 ships destined for the occupied Palestinian ports. Additionally, several ships changed their course in response to warnings and calls from the Yemeni Navy.

Israel initiated its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Since the commencement of the Israeli regime's relentless military campaign against Gaza in early October, the Yemenis have openly declared their support for Palestine's struggle against the Israeli occupation.

The United States and Britain have been carrying out such strikes on Yemen since Washington and its allies offered the Tel Aviv regime unqualified support and said Yemeni forces bear the consequences of attacks against Israeli-owned ships or merchant vessels heading to the occupied territories.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have said they won’t stop retaliatory strikes.

The Tel Aviv regime has also imposed a "complete siege" on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed over 34 thousands Palestinians and injured more than 77 thousands others.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have conducted attacks on ships with ties to Israel near Yemeni ports, including the interception and seizure of a vessel associated with the Tel Aviv regime on November 19.

The maritime attacks have forced some of the world’s biggest shipping and oil companies to suspend transit through one of the world’s most important maritime trade routes.

Tankers are instead adding thousands of miles to international shipping routes by sailing around the continent of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal.
