The French FREMM frigate "Alsace" has abandoned the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, according to French sources.
The commander of the ship stated that the Yemeni Armed Forces "do not hesitate to use drones and ballistic missiles in a very surprising and striking manner."
He added, "It has been a long time since we dealt with this level of weapons and violence. The Houthis are perfecting their technique. The more they fire, the more accurate they become."
The Commander told Le Figaro: "All combat equipment was used on board the frigate, from the Aster missile to machine guns," noting that the cost of each Aster is $2 million.
FREMM is the one of a number of European military ships that have recently withdraw from the area, following the withdrawal of the HDMS Danish Esbern Snare this week and the British destroyer HMS Richmond before it.
Genocidal Joe is going into history as the disgusting enabler of genocide in Gaza and murder of those who are trying to stop it.
Maybe, maybe, maybe they face Justice on Friday when ICJ makes decision on South Africa against Israel case.

Right wing groups going bat shit crazy about their lifelong dream of getting US to engage Iran militarily on all fronts
This is a post from a right wing military centric group:
First map shows the Middle East conflict described by the Pentagon: contained in Gaza—no wider regional war.
The second shows what's played out as Iran + proxies drive a dangerous cycle of escalation, including a large attack today on U.S. forces.
In the past week, since the U.S. & U.K. launched retaliatory strikes against the Houthis in Yemen:
]
- On 11 Jan, U.S., U.K., & Allies conducted large-scale strikes against 60+ Houthi targets at 28 locations—for the first time since the conflict began
- Today: large attack on U.S. forces at an airbase in Iraq by Iranian-backed militants
- Iran attacked 3 countries in 48 hours (Pakistan, Iraq, Syria), hijacked a ship & took hostages, & caught sending ballistic missile components to Yemen
- In a proportional tit-for-tat response to Iran's attack, Pakistan struck multiple targets in Iran
- 140+ attacks now on U.S. forces in Iraq & Syria (confirmed by DOD), U.S. responded with precision strikes 10+ times (& gunship sorties)
- The U.S. followed up with an additional 6 rounds of strikes, targeting key Houthi infrastructure
- Houthis continue to attack commercial shipping & U.S. Navy ships, with at least 35 incidents recorded (more than 5 since the 11th)

Freaking #Biden is going to set the world on fire to keep this #genocide going
Of course the media keep repeating that he is against #Netanyahu's actions.
But I am sure he will not hesitate to send more money and weapons to #Israel.

A Yemeni military source: The American-British attacks against Yemen aims to break the naval blockade imposed on the Zionist enemy’s ports.
We will continue to target Israeli ships heading to the ports of occupied Palestine, no matter how the American-British aggression tries to prevent us from doing so.
🇾🇪 Ansarallah Commander, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr El-Din Al-Houthi's speech today, January 18th, 2024
—
The Jewish zionist criminals committed more than 2,000 massacres and genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people in 104 days.
What the Palestinian people are experiencing is unjust aggression, complete destruction, and a blatant violation of all laws and norms.
The American and British stance is an abnormal position among all nations and peoples in characterizing the crime committed by the zionist enemy.
The United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Arab League have only issued statements and condemnations that do not rise to the level of responsibility and injustice.
There is negligence from most Islamic countries in the Arab region and others towards the Palestinian people.
It is in the interest of the whole nation to stand with the Palestinian people against a common enemy, an enemy to all Muslims.
Relying on a strategy of indifference and spectating towards Palestine will extend to any other Muslim country, whether from Arab countries or others.
The enemy's goals in Gaza are false, ominous, have fallen, failed, and have not been achieved, but the enemy continues its criminality.
Behind the zionist audacity to continue the criminality in Gaza is the American role and direct contribution to all crimes.
The American is complicit with the "israeli" in providing all forms of military, surveillance, information, financial, and political support.
The American insists on continuing the zionist criminality against the Palestinian people and provides media support for it.
From day one of the aggression, the American threatened the Islamic world against providing any support to the Palestinian people.
Where is the Arab generosity in providing aid to the Palestinian people, breaking the siege, and delivering food and medicine to Gaza?
The general stance of most Arab and Islamic countries remains at a level of media sympathy, in a manner that is lukewarm and weak.
The American has sought to garner support from multiple countries for the zionist enemy and has pushed European countries like Germany, France, and Italy.
America puts all its enormous and advanced capabilities and its international influence in the aggression against the Palestinian people, who only have simple weapons.
The Palestinian people are tortured, oppressed, wronged, their land is occupied, and their economic capabilities are at ground zero.
Biden did not excuse himself for being advanced in age, but rather rushed after October 7 to occupied Palestine to express his direct and personal support for the zionist enemy.
Americans have a dark criminal history against various peoples of the world and are known for their moral bankruptcy.
American political directions are not linked to any moral value, and their biggest motive is their connection to zionism.
Americans are ready to do everything the zionist lobby wants from them, even if their crimes are clear and blatant, at the expense of their interests.
Many in both the Democratic and Republican parties in America compete over who provides more support to "israel".
The American participates in daily crimes, provides clear and blatant support for their continuation, participates, sponsors, and protects them.
Enemies come from the farthest parts of the earth to our Islamic world to ensure the zionists occupy Palestine.
We must ask ourselves about our commitments towards our just causes in contrast to the commitments of enemies coming from distant places towards the Jewish zionists.
In the eyes of Americans and Europeans, the Palestinian people's decades-long suffering does not give them the right to defend themselves and their land.
For more than 100 days, the fighters in Gaza stand with all valor and dedication to face the destructive and lethal "israeli" machine.
The West only cares about classifying the fighters as terrorists and begrudges their resistance against the aggression.
The heroic fighters in Palestine have the right and obligations towards their children and women, towards their legitimate rights.
The Palestinian people have a legitimate right and a just cause, and humanitarian and ethical obligations to defend themselves and confront the enemy.
The American and British want the Palestinian people to remain tied up, submissive, violated, and plundered.
When the free people of the nation in Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen move, they do so based on clear rights and oppression.
If the Americans believe it's their right to come over 9,000 kilometers to our region, then how is it not our right to stand with the Palestinian people, who are part of us?
The leaders of the Jewish zionist lobby are a handful of criminals with a satanic, aggressive criminal tendency.
The zionists are not only a danger to the Palestinian people, but they are the enemy of the entire nation.
Today, the nation is between two commitments: the American-zionist commitment and our nation's commitment. From this perspective, our Yemeni people have moved.
Yemen's military stance is a stance from a faith-based perspective. The American must understand what we mean by our faith affiliation and our faith-based; on it we live, and on it we die.
We are ready within our faith-based stance to be martyrs for the sake of God.
Our people, from a faith-based, have effectively and significantly impacted the enemies of Allah, costing them billions of dollars. The maritime position had a very significant impact, and this is what we want and strive for.
We have been praying to Allah since the beginning to enable us to have an effective and impactful position in supporting the oppressed Palestinian people.
The Americans, British, and "israelis" have violated our country's sovereignty and involved themselves in a war with our country.
The American tends or intends to say "the Houthis," but what he does is an attack on the Yemeni people and their position.
Our operations will include American and British ships, and the aggression will not change anything in our position.
The American-British aggression will not affect our military capabilities; it is just an illusion and media propaganda.
The American admitted after the first round of its airstrikes that it did not impact our military capabilities. They have not learned the lessons and morals from the aggression it supervised for nine years.
We assure the whole world that the American-British aggression will contribute more and more, as it continues, in developing our military capabilities.
If the American knew the difference in the type of weapon used to target yesterday's ship, they would be certain that continuing their aggression will increase the development of our military capabilities.
I bring good news to our people that there are indeed concrete steps from now on in developing our military capabilities.
The direct American and British involvement does not scare us at all; rather, we were very relieved and thanked Allah greatly for it.
It is a great honor to be in direct confrontation with the "israelis," Americans, and British, who are the mother of terrorism and the roots and sources of terrorism.
The policy and strategy of the enemies in all past stages have been based on hitting us through others and being the party that gains and does not lose.
The policy of the enemies has been to hit our nation against each other and to pit one state against another.
In facing the wicked, tyrannical, unjust, and corrupt on earth, we are most hopeful of Allah's victory and assistance.
The recent American classification is laughable. The Americans are the source of crime, terrorism, and tyranny, and has no right to classify others.
The Americans, who started the aggression against us and supervised it for nine years, then initiated an assault on our navy, now comes to classify the victims as terrorists.
We will persist in targeting ships with links to "israel" and bombard occupied Palestine until the aggression and siege on Gaza ends.
It is the right of the people of Gaza for the siege to end, and for food and medical supplies to enter.
The Americans want the seas to be safe for the support and resources provided to the "israeli" enemy while starving the Palestinian people.
We will confront the American-British aggression supporting "israel" and seeking to continue "israeli" crimes against the Palestinian people.
Our country will classify America and Britain in the list of countries protecting, sponsoring, and supporting zionist terrorism.
We renew the call for all countries to beware of involvement with America and Britain in aggression against our country and the Palestinian people.
America seeks to drag other countries into participating and contributing directly to the aggression against the Palestinian people.
The Americans involved Germany in dangerous positions through its direct contribution of tank shells and other forms of support for zionist criminality.
We warn against weariness towards the oppression of the Palestinian people; the longer the siege and starvation continue, the greater the responsibility on our nation.
Economic and diplomatic boycotts are practical and effective positions. Many countries can boycott American and "israeli" goods, which has a direct impact.
At the official Islamic and Arab level, official positions have not reached a decisive level.
We as peoples must move with all we can, as there are countries where the boycott weapon can be more effectively activated.
Other countries can participate in the weapon of boycotting and in media advocacy.
Demonstrations and marches in various countries, including in Western countries in Europe and America, must continue.
I call on our dear people to come out tomorrow, God willing, in Sabeen Square in Sanaa in the afternoon and in other governorates according to the arrangements made.
The massive million march is part of our position today, and our stance is jihad for the sake of Allah.
Going out to demonstration squares is a small act compared to our faith commitments that reach the level of sacrificing ourselves.
My hope in you is great, with your faith, values, morals, and manhood, for an honorable turnout and to pay homage to the martyrs of the American-British aggression.
