The ship had received\u2062 a distress call from \u2064the M\/V \u2064Central Park, a merchant vessel under attack by an unknown entity.<\/p>\n<p>The USS Mason swiftly intercepted the vessel and demanded its release. Five armed individuals then fled the Central\u2062 Park in their\u200d own\u200b small craft, attempting to escape. However, the Mason pursued and successfully apprehended the\u2064 would-be hijackers.<\/p>\n<p>But the danger was far from over. At 1:41 a.m. local time, two missiles were fired from Houthi controlled areas in Yemen, targeting either the Mason or the Central Park. Fortunately, the missiles missed \u2064their mark, \u2064and no one on either vessel \u2064was harmed.<\/p>\n<p>General Michael \u200cErik Kurilla, USCENTCOM commander, emphasized the importance of \u200cmaritime domain security and vowed\u200d to work\u200c with allies and partners\u200c to \u200censure the safety of international shipping\u200c lanes.<\/p>\n<h3>Background and\u200b Response<\/h3>\n<p>The USS Mason, an Arleigh Burke-class\u200c destroyer, \u2063was wrapping up its response to the distress call \u200cwhen \u2062the missiles \u2064were \u200blaunched. The ship, part of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier \u200dStrike Group, had\u2064 been deployed\u200d to the eastern Mediterranean in \u200cOctober \u200bfollowing a brutal \u200dattack on Israel by\u2064 Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>The tanker ship, M\/V Central Park, managed by Zodiac Maritime, emerged unscathed from the incident. However, CNN reported that Zodiac Maritime has alleged \u200blinks to Israeli billionaire Eyal \u2062Ofer&#8217;s Ofer Global, although a \u2062spokesperson denied the ownership\u200c connection.<\/p>\n<p>The US Central Command released a statement\u2062 detailing the events, which can be read in full <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CENTCOM\/status\/1728982985238843665?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>A Plea for Support<\/h3>\n<div class=\"author_subscription_pitch\">\n<p><em><b>A Note from Our Founder:<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Every morning, we at The Western Journal wake\u2062 up \u200dand pursue our mission of giving you the important information you need about what\u2019s \u200chappening in America.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\/?hosted_button_id=BM6XAWRJ8NS7A&#038;utm_source=site&#038;utm_medium=westernjournalism&#038;utm_campaign=authorpitch\"><b>We can\u2019t do that without your help<\/b><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>America has been on the receiving end of false narratives.
