Houthis to attack Israel amid Trump visit? Big threat amid Gaza deal after chasing US out of Red Sea

Yemen’s Houthi rebels issued a stern warning of “severe and decisive” retaliation if Israel violates the new U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire, vowing to target Israeli sites “deep inside the occupied territories” as well as Israel-linked shipping in the Red Sea. Senior Houthi official Hizam al-Assad told Sputnik that all attacks would halt if Israel abides by the agreement, but any renewed siege or aggression against Gaza would trigger larger-scale operations. The warning comes as President Trump visits the region, declaring “the war is over” and emphasizing optimism that the ceasefire will hold, setting the stage for the next phase of Gaza’s reconstruction and regional normalization.
