TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Shia leader of the Yemeni group Houthi has warned Israel that they will carry out a major retaliatory strike if Israel resumes its attacks on Gaza.
In a televised speech on Saturday night local time, on the first day of Ramadan, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi spoke from Sanaa, stating that a resumption of Israel's military operations in Gaza will trigger a Houthi military response against Israel, with a specific focus on targeting Tel Aviv.
"We stand firmly committed through religious, humanitarian, and ethical obligations to support our Palestinian brothers and sisters, along with resistance forces, particularly the Qassam Brigades," said al-Houthi as quoted by Antara.
Al-Houthi asserted that Houthi forces are prepared to open multiple military fronts in solidarity with Gaza if Israel continues its military operations.
The Houthi group, which controls most of the northern Yemeni territory, including the capital Sanaa, had previously launched attacks in the Red Sea against ships they believed were linked to Israel.
They referred to this action as support for the people of Palestine during the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
On Saturday, the initial 42-day phase of the three-stage agreement between Hamas and Israel ended without any announced breakthrough for the next phase.
Israel is reportedly planning to launch an invasion of Gaza within a week, cutting off electricity, targeting Hamas leaders, and displacing Palestinians from northern to southern Gaza, sources said.
They also said that Israel plans to escalate its strategy against the Gaza Strip within a week, including cutting off electricity, killing Hamas figures, and displacing Palestinians from the northern to the southern part of Gaza, according to Israeli sources as reported by Anadolu.
Previously, Israel had blocked humanitarian aid, drawing strong condemnation from Arab countries and the international community. This move has also been criticized by Israeli politicians and families of Israeli prisoners, who accused it of jeopardizing hostage negotiations.
