Israel bombs hijacked Brit ship Galaxy Leader seized by Houthis in devastating wave of airstrikes against terror group
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ISRAEL has bombed the hijacked Brit ship Galaxy Leader seized by Houthis in devastating wave of airstrikes. The car carrier was snatched by the terror group when crack troops swooped onto it with a helicopter in November 2023. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Israel has bombed the hijacked Brit ship Galaxy Leader Credit: AP 7 Houthi followers hold a cutout banner portraying the Galaxy Leader cargo ship which was seized by Houthis Credit: Reuters 7 An Israeli fighter jet getting prepared for airstrikes targeting Yemen Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 7 The Galaxy Leader is owned by a British company, which is partially owned by Israeli tycoon Abraham Ungar. The militants had celebrated its capture as a war trophy - with Yemeni influencers visiting the vessel to show it off. The brutal attack on Sunday night involved around a whopping 50 missiles and bombs, according to the IDF. The Force added the attack was in response to relentless Houthi attacks on Israel. The IDF said: "The Houthi terrorist regime's forces installed a radar system on the ship, and are using it to track vessels in international maritime space in order to promote the Houthi terrorist regime's activities." The strikes were also said to have hit the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa and Salif, alongside the Ras Qantib power plant on the coast. A mere few hours later, two retaliation missiles were launched from Yemen, Israel said. Attempts were made to intercept them but the results were still under review. The Houthi group has continued to fire ballistic missiles at Israel since the tense ceasefire with Iran was reached. But the firing attempts are - most of the time - blasted singly, meaning Israel's Iron Dome is usually able to down them. Trump boasts 'Oops, there will be no attack' after US bombs Houthi terror soldiers 'preparing to fight' in drone strike In October, Houthi rebels forced hostages on board a hijacked British cargo ship to party on live TV as new satellite images reveal the vessel's movements. Footage shared on Yemen TV channels shows the captives watching a traditional knife dance as the guests of honour on the ship where they are being held hostage. Exclusive images provided to The Sun also showed the boat being brought back and forth from the shore by the Houthis. Satellite pics taken by company Maxar show the ship tied with its back to shore last April. The condition of the crew is dire as they face 'significant health issues" including malaria, a report claims. Most of the crew are from the Philippines, with three from Ukraine, two each from Bulgaria and Mexico, and one from Romania. The Houthis have sought to portray themselves as treating the hostages generously and have welcomed visits from the Red Cross and a top naval commander. But Filipino diplomatic sources have previously said they do not expect the captives to be released until Israel's war in Gaza is over. 7 Houthi military helicopter flies over the Galaxy Leader cargo ship in the Red Sea Credit: Reuters 7 The Galaxy Leader was covered in Green lights for the celebration 7 The crew was shown on local TV sitting on the boat watching a performance Credit: Twitter For about a dollar per trip, male-only groups of visitors can board wooden boats five times a week to marvel at the hijacked carrier. The Houthis, designated a "global terrorist" group by Washington, have previously draped it in Yemeni and Palestinian flags and anti-American and anti-Israeli banners. They have continued their campaign to disrupt trade in the Red Sea for almost a year now. Footage from earlier this month shows them sending an explosive-laden drone at a British oil tanker. They shared the clip of a big explosion near the side of the Cordelia Moon, which damaged its port side tank and covered it in clouds of smoke. Around 12 per cent of all global trade normally passes through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the now-under-attack 20-mile-wide stretch of the Red Sea also known as the "Gate of Tears".

Former Celtic and Scotland footballer caught drug driving
Courtney Whyte was spotted by police officers just after 1pm on April 13, last year, on Stepps Road in the East End. The 27-year-old was driving a red Ford Focus near Avenue End Road. When she stopped, officers noted her to be nervous and fidgety. They instructed her to give a sample of saliva, which she did shortly after 2pm. This was positive for cocaine, so Whyte was arrested. She was taken to Coatbridge police station. Around 2.43pm, the Hogganfield resident also provided a blood sample, which was sent for analysis. On July 8, 2024, the result came back and was also positive for cocaine. READ NEXT: Seven cases from Glasgow Sheriff Court this week Whyte appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court today, after she pleaded guilty to driving while the amount of cocaine in her blood was 32 microgrammes in one litre of blood. She also admitted to having driven while the level of Benzoylecgonine - a primary metabolite of cocaine - was 800 microgrammes in one litre of blood. These are both over the legal limit. At the hearing, Whyte's lawyer said: "Addiction is a fairly significant issue. She was a very talented footballer, representing Celtic and Scotland, before she has a serious injury. "That sent her into chaos. This is a bad coping mechanism." Sheriff Patricia Pryce said: "She has been clean for some time. There is no scope for addiction support." The solicitor agreed. Sheriff Pryce told Whyte: "It's by the skin of your teeth that I am able to deal with this without custody. "I appreciate you had a difficult time but you're putting road users at risk when you do this." She was sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid work, to be completed within eight months and disqualified from driving for three years.
