(JNS) The Houthis in Yemen have threatened to renew attacks on Israel if the Gaza ceasefire collapses.

Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Iranian-backed terror group, declared in a televised address on Tuesday, Feb. 11 that its forces are “ready to respond immediately” if Israeli attacks on Gaza resume.

He emphasized the importance of Arab and Islamic unity against U.S. policies and condemned any efforts to resettle Gazans, specifically criticizing President Donald Trump’s plans regarding the future of the war-torn coastal enclave.

The terrorist leader claimed that the U.S.-Israeli agenda aimed to seize Islamic holy sites, including Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

Trump has re-designated the rebel group that controls northern Yemen as a foreign terrorist organization.

Following the Hamas-led massacre in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, the group, which calls itself Ansar Allah, began firing hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel and at commercial ships in the Red Sea.
