Yemen's Houthi terror organization released a new propaganda video overnight under the title "We Are Ready for All Possibilities," showing ground forces undergoing advanced training alongside an extensive tunnel network, including tunnels reportedly built to accommodate vehicle movement. The video is part of the group's ongoing campaign of intimidation and features Houthi leader Abdul Malik al Houthi speaking against what he called the "American Saudi siege on Yemen."

Houthis Release New Threat Video Amid Shin Bet Warning of "Next October 7" in Eilat
Yemen's Houthis released a new propaganda video showing ground troops and tunnel networks, days after Israel's Shin Bet chief warned Eilat could face a large scale infiltration attack.
According to Haaretz, Zini has directed the agency to treat Eilat as a top intelligence priority, citing the city's isolated geography near the borders of Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia as a significant vulnerability, and has raised the possibility of a coordinated ground invasion from Jordan or by sea. Some officials within the security establishment have pushed back on the emphasis Zini is placing on the scenario, saying there is currently no concrete intelligence pointing to an active attack plan, a caveat the Shin Bet itself has publicly repeated.
The video's release also follows an unusual incident roughly three weeks ago in the Gulf of Eilat, in which a jet ski crossed the maritime border from Jordan and was fired on by Israeli naval forces. Jordan initially said a rider on the craft had been wounded by the gunfire, but Israeli security checks found no indication anyone had actually been aboard. Officials believe the vessel was most likely an unmanned craft intended either for intelligence gathering or to carry explosives, and that it may have drifted or washed up on the Jordanian coast after being hit. Security officials are now examining the possibility that the incident was a deliberate probe by hostile actors, possibly including the Houthis, meant to test Israel's response ahead of a future attack attempt in the Eilat area.
The new video also comes as the Houthis work to improve their missile capabilities, with reports indicating the group has been conducting missile tests aimed at improving both range and accuracy. Over the past two and a half years the Houthis have fired numerous missiles at Israel, some of which broke apart mid-flight. Despite the group's rhetoric and its role as an Iranian proxy, Houthi fire toward Israel has been relatively limited since the war began, with only about six missiles and five drones launched since the group resumed fire on March 28, following a period in which it held off entirely after the Gaza ceasefire was signed in October 2025.
Last week the Houthi leader made clear his organization would intervene militarily on behalf of Hamas if the IDF launches a new military operation in the Gaza Strip, saying his group remains in constant coordination with what he called its allies across "the resistance arenas."
