Canada will participate in a U.S.-led multinational effort to help protect commercial ships travelling through the Red Sea, as Houthi rebels in Yemen carry out attacks in response to Israel’s military operation in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Canada’s participation will be limited to the deployment of three staff officers, according to Defence Minister Bill Blair. Two military planners and one intelligence analyst will take part in the mission.
