[Regnum] The leader of the Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) ruling in northern Yemen, Abdel Malik al-Houthi, said that strikes on Israeli territory could be resumed if the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon ends. His words were quoted on the movement's Telegram channel.
That is to say, missiles and drones aimed in the general direction of Israel, relying on Allah to ensure — or not, as the case may be — the actual impact. Almost all have landed in the sea or been shot down, the total number that actually arrived since 10/2023 being in the single digits. Allah’s opinion in the matter is clear.
"We reaffirm our position in support of the Palestinian people, keeping our hand on the trigger, and we will be present if the Israeli enemy returns to escalation against the Gaza Strip," he said.

The Houthi leader clarified that the movement is also monitoring the situation in Lebanon and will continue to provide support to the local population and the militia.

Speaking about US President Donald Trump's plans to evict Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and turn it into an international resort under Washington's control, al-Houthi called them irrational and said there was no point in responding to such a proposal.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, an agreement on a temporary truce in the Gaza Strip was reached on January 15. It is to be implemented in three stages. The first is the withdrawal of IDF troops from Gaza and the release of 33 hostages by Hamas. The second is the release of the remaining Israeli prisoners and a permanent ceasefire. The third stage involves the exchange of bodies of the dead. Then, reconstruction work will begin in the Gaza Strip under the supervision of Egypt, Qatar and the UN.
