Recordings of the ETERNITY C crew members confirmed their violation of the naval blockade on the ports of occupied Palestine.
They confirmed that the ship’s destination was the port of Umm al-Rashrash from Berbera port in Somalia.
The crew members confirmed that the Saudi port of Jeddah was their destination for disguise and resupply purposes.
They sent messages to companies whose ships sail to Israeli ports, urging them not to trade or deal with Israelis.
The crew members warned companies against risks and urged keeping identification devices on in the Red Sea.
They apologized to the Palestinians, saying, “We regret that our ship was headed to Israel.”
in the same context, a Yemeni military source confirmed that The ETERNITY C ship was targeted after its captain refused to comply with warnings from the Yemeni naval forces.
“The ship was targeted after ignoring multiple warnings from the Yemeni naval forces on International Channel 16 to stop immediately,” he said.
He continued : “The ETERNITY C ship is operated by COSMO SHIPMANAGEMENT SA, a company with several vessels that have dealt with ports of the Zionist entity. The operator’s ship HSL NIKE made four shipments to occupied Haifa from Turkey and Egypt this year. Among the operator company’s ships is FAITH, which made two shipments in recent months from Turkish and Egyptian ports.”
The military source urged all maritime stakeholders to avoid dealings with the Zionist entity to protect ships and crews.
He stressed, “All Navigation is safe except for Israeli ships, those bound for occupied Palestinian ports, or blockade violators.”
He added, ” We hold companies violating the Yemeni decision to be fully responsible for the safety of their ships, crews, and the marine environment.
the military source confirmed the continuation of the Yemeni Armed Forces in implementing the decision to ban navigation for the Zionist entity.
“Armed Forces will continue blocking any ship linked to the entity, regardless of nationality or ownership. All ships must open their communication identifiers.”
The military source affirmed that the Yemeni naval forces are ready to assist ships via Channel 16 or info@navy.gov.ye.
