Houthis: We will resume attacking Israel

Senior Houthi officials, speaking anonymously to international media, confirmed that the group has decided to resume missile and drone attacks on shipping routes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, as well as directly against Israel, in solidarity with Iran. Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the group's leader, stated in a pre-recorded speech that the rebels are prepared for "any necessary development" and will engage in "various activities" to support Iran against "American-Israeli-Zionist tyranny." The announcement has prompted immediate maritime security alerts, with the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) warning of heightened risks for vessels linked to US or Israeli interests. Shipping associations like BIMCO have advised rerouting, anticipating potential disruptions to global trade routes.
