A complex operation that proved Yemen’s unprecedented superiority… Details of the targeting of the Israeli ship “Scarlet Ray.”

“The Maritime Executive” website, which specializes in maritime affairs, revealed that the Yemeni attack on the Israeli ship “Scarlet Ray” took place amid circumstances that confirm the failure of attempts to conceal its navigational position. It explained that automatic identification system data showed that the ship’s signals had been interrupted for weeks and that it was last spotted near the Saudi port of Yanbu.

According to the website, the absence of any navigational signals from the ship since Sunday afternoon reinforces the hypothesis that the jamming attempts were intentional to protect it from detection by Sana’a forces, but this did not prevent it from being directly hit.

The report noted that the distance traveled by the Yemeni missiles, which exceeds 600 nautical miles, reflects Sana’a’s possession of advanced capabilities in the field of electronic warfare and target identification, which has been proven by repeated operations against Israeli ships since late 2023.

Intelligence estimates suggest that the owner company may have resorted to deliberately disrupting the ship’s signals, while military sources believe that Yemeni surveillance systems may have carried out sophisticated jamming operations that confused the ship’s movement and enabled it to be tracked.

On Monday, Sana’a forces announced that the Israeli oil tanker “Scarlet Ray” had been hit by a ballistic missile in the Red Sea in a new operation reflecting Sana’a’s insistence on accumulating its capabilities and expanding its targeting of Israeli maritime depths amid official silence from Tel Aviv so far.
