Shipping companies avoid the strait

Since the start of the war between Israel and radical Islamist Hamas, Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen have launched drones and rockets at Israel several times and attacked ships in the Red Sea.

Due to the ongoing attacks, two other shipping companies, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and CMA CGM, announced that they will no longer sail through the strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
