Houthis say they will resume attacks on Israel if Gaza ceasefire fails
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis, who control most of western Yemen including the capital, are ready to launch attacks on Israel if it resumes attacks on Gaza and does not commit to the ceasefire deal, the group’s leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi says in a televised speech.
The Houthis had fired missiles at Israel, and attacked Israeli and other vessels in the Red Sea, disturbing global shipping lanes, in what they said were acts of solidarity with Gaza’s Palestinians during the war with Hamas.
The group paused its attacks at the start of the ceasefire and hostage release deal last month.
