Sana'a, November 10 (Xinhua) — Yemen's Houthi militia warned Sunday that it would resume rocket and drone strikes against Israel if the Gaza ceasefire is violated, according to a letter sent to the Palestinian Hamas movement.
The threat comes amid heightened regional tensions that could undermine the fragile US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza, as well as renewed tensions between Iran and the US over protracted nuclear talks, the rebel-controlled Al-Masirah television channel reported.
In a letter, the newly appointed Houthi chief of staff, Yousef al-Madani, stated: “We remain true to our promise and will stand with you despite the sacrifices.”
From the start of the Gaza War in October 2023 until the current ceasefire took effect on October 10, the Houthis launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones at Israel, most of which were reportedly intercepted. The group also attacked Israeli-affiliated ships in the Red Sea, sinking four of them.
Last week, the Houthis declared a general mobilization, recruiting hundreds of tribal fighters, tightening security in their areas, setting up additional checkpoints, and detaining more UN staff on alleged charges of spying for Israel.
They also sent reinforcements to the front lines near the oil-rich province of Marib, controlled by Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces.
These developments followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's televised address last week in which he said the Houthis posed a threat to Israel and that "work is underway to eliminate them." –0–
