Houthis Warn They Will Resume Strikes on Israel if Gaza Ceasefire Collapses

Overview

• The message conditions any renewed action on the failure of the U.S.-brokered truce in Gaza, which reports describe as fragile.
• The group has declared a general mobilization, recruiting tribal fighters, tightening checkpoints, detaining additional UN staff, and reinforcing frontlines near Marib.
• Since October 2023 the Houthis have launched hundreds of missiles and drones toward Israel and targeted Israeli‑linked ships in the Red Sea, sinking four vessels.
• Yousif al‑Madani became chief of staff last month after Mohammed Abdulkarim Al‑Ghamari died from wounds sustained in Israeli airstrikes in Sanaa in August.
• Houthi leader Abdul‑Malik al‑Houthi has said another confrontation with Israel is expected and that his forces are building strength for the next round.
