This is the best summary I could come up with:
Four underwater communications cables between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti have been struck out of commission in recent months, presumably as a result of attacks by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, according to an exclusive report in the Israeli news site Globes.
The successful targeting of the four cables, which are believed to belong to the AAE-1, Seacom, EIG, and TGN systems, marks a serious disruption of communications between Europe and Asia.
Most of the immediate harm will be absorbed by the Gulf states and India, Globes said.
The Europe India Gateway (EIG) cable system connects southern Europe to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, the UAE, and India.
Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi movement, which is not the internationally recognized government of the Arab country but which controls its most populous segments, has been attacking international trade for months, proclaiming solidarity with Palestinians as Israel wages war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The United States, United Kingdom, and allies have begun in recent months to take offensive actions against the Houthis in response to attacks, but the missile, helicopter, and underwater drone assaults on merchant ships have continued.
The original article contains 220 words, the summary contains 184 words. Saved 16%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Another very based action killing zero people while causing massive inconveniences.
If true they cut off Internet to themselves, some powerful Arab neighbors, and Mumbai. Seems like a spectacularly stupid move. The bar is low for these idiots and yet they keep finding ways under it.
Because India was totally supporting Palestine up till now lmao

Brain so burguer that fat sips out of the ears
Some asshole called me a genocide lover cause I posted this!
I called you a genocide lover for this comment
So much for the we support Gaza lies.
And this comment
Go protest Hamas and tell me how far that gets you
And some comments insulting Aaron Bushnell’s sacrifice that have since been removed by a mod.
Also, you didn’t post that link, you just commented on it with that bullshit above, but it doesn’t seem like accuracy is too important to you.
I’m also happy to be called an asshole by you. I’ve seen what you like.
I still haven’t seen independent confirmation of the cable cutting from a non Israeli source, nor have on seen indications of a cut line on any of the looking glass servers I’ve checked. This bit is important, because we should be able to independently see the results of a cut sea cable.
Like, if jpost said the moon exploded, you should be able to go outside and see it the moon exploded yourself.

Did you look?
Seacom Confirms Cable Outage in Red Sea
This source links to some other sources, some Israeli and some not.
I think the overall takeaway is that at least some cables took some kind of damage. Blaming Yemeni rebels might be nonsense, though - other actors in the area might have done it.
I did, in fact, look. Only your second link, however, is independent confirmation, and I did not see that announcement at the time of my post.
The other two links are to articles reporting what jpost, and globe reported, which is not independent confirmation.
Truly the will of Allah and a good representive action of his followers.
Man, that Allah guy sure is one hell of a fucking asshole.
His messenger did rape a nine year old multiple times and did sexually explicit stuff with her when she was even under that age.
Allah THESE NUTS.
Considering he’s also Yahweh, yes he is.
You don’t fuck with the internet. It’s where we get our porn and pirated movies.
and cat pics
The sixth century didn’t have that so you don’t need it. It’s probably harom or something
Some sand is about to get turned into glass.
So much for the we are supporting Gaza myth.
Good, now move to Yemen.
