The leader of the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen threatened on March 7 to resume attacks on ships affiliated with Israel if aid supplies to the Gaza Strip do not resume within four days.
“If the Israeli enemy continues after the first four days to prevent the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip… then we will resume our naval operations against the Israeli enemy,” Abdulmalik al-Huthi said in a televised address.
The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, fired dozens of drones and missiles at Israeli-affiliated ships and others linked to the United States and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea during the Gaza war, until calling a halt when a ceasefire started on January 19.
The ceasefire allowed aid to enter Gaza. However, earlier this month Israel halted the entrance of all aid to the Strip and threatened “additional consequences” and a return to war if the Hamas Movement continued to refuse a proposal to extend the U.S.-brokered deal.
In addition to the attacks on Israeli-affiliated ships, the Houthis launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel. In response, multiple waves of Israeli strikes hit Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen. The U.S. and the UK also launched hundreds of strikes against the group.
The Houthis’ latest threat was welcomed by Hamas, which praised in a statement the rule the group played in the conflict with Israel.
“The brave decision … is an extension of the positions of support and assistance that they [the Houthis] provided over the course of 15 months of war … in Gaza”, Hamas said.
It’s worth noting that the threat comes days after the U.S. re-designated the Houthis group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and sanctioned seven of its senior figures.
The group earlier shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper combat drone over the western shores of Yemen. This was the 15th such drone to be downed by Houthi air defense fire since the beginning of the conflict in Gaza.
All in all, the Houthis, who had proven to be a capable military force, appear to be determined to support Hamas and other Palestinian armed factions in Gaza. However, with the fighting nearly over on the fronts with the Strip and Lebanon, Israel now has more resources to escalate against Yemen.

long live houthi✌️🫥👾
the houthis are a humanitarian superpower. their blockade would be more effective if the quisling whores in jordan and the petty gulf dictatorships were not providing the zio regime with an alternative overland supply route.
you funny guy
you screw head guy.
after china retaliation tariffs i left ottawa gay bar for detroit mulatto bar where i can swallow much jizz –i humiliated cuz my ukie nazis lose bad
the yemeni sand-apes are acting up again…heheheh…
yes , it’s obvious who the real sand apes are: those who kill endlessly and without concern for humanity.
as long as the west controls the worlds media they descide who the majority of normal people who just watch or read the news see as the good and the bad guys.
… you…?
no, but you and your shlomo ragged band.
yes, plus gps intelligence and invisible drones.
the kike mutants will get what’s coming to them.
yes, the hooties will go down the same road as i predicted for gayza. remember when you didnt believe me?
hooties are toast.
shlomo will mind his manners unless he can get shabbos goy chumpo to do his fighting for him. doesn’t have the stomach for a rematch going up close and personal with hamas in the rubble of gaza.
dont need to. got carpet bombs to keep gayza good and warm.
with trump all in to support isreal they will just invite doom to their people with this. why do these shiites care for sunni lifes if those sunnis would gladly slauther them for having the wrong believe.
because they don’t play shlomo’s dirty divide and rule games.
“the houthis, who are backed by iran”, ah, there it is. why even call them houthis when you could call them, ‘yemeni based iranians.
the same reason they dont call them american funded terrorists
“backed by iran” is a hasbara talking point to be repeated in any and all conversations . why else would it be in every western article , opinion piece and news cast for over 10 years . for years israeli supported military has attacked yemen to destroy it . but israeli backed militias false flags are not ever discussed fairly .
lol. this is hilarious.
at least some people in planet earth seem to have some decency.
with ongoing deaths in gaza and the west bank perpetrated by the gutless schizoid inbreds, this should be a fait accompli for ansar allah. no warnings. just hit whatever shipping without any notice. how much notice did the ksa give you in years past ?
if only russia stood up for christians (and other syrians who’s lives are equally valuable) currently slaughtered by hts in syria the way yemenis are standing up for palestinians! there needs to be a separate secular state in the coastal region of syria!
theres hundreds of refugees at their airbase in syria, guarded by russian troops
sandal boys are true rescues of fellow brothers.not like big shoe erdogan who betray his own.
and in 5 days the hooties will extinct
you said that 2 years back.
israel has been at war with yemen for way more than 2 years . the us saudi led proxy war was for israel behalf .
nope, two years ago i said that about gayza. now im saying it for the hootys the hootin tootin hootys. israels big parking lot for the shoppers of gayza mall. it will happen. hootiy land will be flattened … well, not at first. first idf is going to bomb the living shytz outta them brownies then let them live in the ruins for a couple of years and kill them slowly. starting with the babies. well, you know the drill from gayza and the hammassian terrorists with their flood and what not…
israel is in panic mode.
nope. no panic.
we re planing our moves ahead.
maybe s.th. explosive in your pocket?
oh, wait. we already did that.
well. i’m sure we’ll find s.th. nice for your ramadamn
not enough to stop the greater israel project . the decades old plan is still in motion .
hope the houthis have some nukes addressed straight to tel aviv, haifa and so on!
i submit that the average middle eastern person supports the houthi . the installed puppet dictatorships that support israel are in a propaganda onslaught . the puppets may condemn israeli actions , but will take no action . word service for all .
