Houthi leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi declared that their forces are on high alert, ready to escalate at a moment’s notice.

The warning follows Hamas’ accusation that Israel has violated the ceasefire agreement, pausing hostage releases in protest.

Israel’s Defense Minister has ordered maximum military readiness, while Netanyahu warns of a return to full-scale combat.

Since November 2023, the Houthis have attacked over 100 military and commercial vessels and launched missiles at Israel.

Despite earlier promises to halt their strikes, the Houthis now say they will resume attacks if Israel escalates its operations.

With the situation deteriorating rapidly, the risk of a wider conflict grows—will diplomacy prevail, or is another war imminent?
