My facts were from various Twitter posts - I don't have them on hand but you can search fairly easily. It's pretty clear that wikipedia data doesn't cover this level of detail - but using game theory - it's pretty reasonable that the Houthis have a political goal and being random or scattershot in their attacks would dilute that goal.

Do you have a single fact source that differs from the Wikipedia list?

The Houthi org certainly has some motivation. Do the facts match the claimed motivation or not?

Swan Atlantic has Israeli connections as well from the Wikipedia list. Clearly this list is being updated as info unfolds. Also the lack of a link on the Wikipedia page does not mean there is no link, and just as you missed Swan Atlantic (and I didn't even go through the full list), there can be other ships with Israeli connections that you didn't catch (or entries that were updated since the time you checked)

Do you have a single fact source that differs from the Wikipedia list?

As far as I can tell Swan Atlantic is owned by a Norwegian company without Israeli ties and had no Israeli ports of call. That means the observed Houthi behavior is still 14/17 (82%) not-Israeli-related.

The Houthi behavior is significantly different from Houthi claims of motivation.
