Houthi Leading Figure Affirms Ongoing Aggression Towards Israel in Solidarity with Gaza
Title: Houthi Leader Confirms Ongoing Attacks Against Israel, Undeterred by U.S. Ceasefire
Say what? The big cheese of Yemen's Houthi Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, dropped a bomb on us! He declared that his Iran-backed group ain't gonna hold back from firing off at Israel to support the folks in Gaza. That's right, this ain't no temporary thing - they're in it for the long haul, regardless of any chit-chat they might've had with the U.S. about a ceasefire[1][2][3].
So, Israelis, better pack your things and hunker down in those shelters, 'cause Uncle Sam can't guarantee your safety anymore. Seems like al-Mashat's making it clear that he's not budging, claiming their attacks on Israel will continue to roll on[2][4].
All this comes amidst a series of military exchanges between Israel and the Houthis, with the Israeli Air Force whacking Houthi targets in Yemen[1]. Stay tuned, folks, this story's far from over.
