Young men danced on the galaxy ship
In a clip of the video, some youths are also seen dancing with Al Zoubi on the Galaxy ship. Let us tell you that Al Zoubi has about 42,000 subscribers on YouTube. He is seen in an elevator with some people on a cargo ship, with Al Zoubi speaking into the camera while holding a cell phone to his ear. Everyone comes out of the lift and comes up to the deck laughing. In a video going viral on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), a line of people can be seen dancing on the top deck of the ship. In the video, three people are waving Yemeni flags, while others have weapons in their hands.
Social media influencer’s warning
In another YouTube video, Yemeni social media influencer Al Mumari approaches the Galaxy Leader in a small sailboat before being seen on the deck of the ship. During this, he also urged Israel to stop bombing Gaza. Furthermore he warned that if the bloodshed continued, the people should expect their ships to be stolen. Last week, Houthi rebels published a video showing armed men attacking the Galaxy Leader in the Red Sea before capturing it. According to Yemeni military media, at least seven masked men carrying AK-47s descended from a helicopter and hijacked the plane.
