Sanaa: The leader of Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, Abdul Malik al-Huthi, vowed a "military response" Thursday to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, an attack blamed on Israel. In a televised speech, al-Huthi stated, "There has to be a military response to these crimes, which are shameless and dangerous, and constitute a major escalation by the Israeli enemy."

The Houthi rebels have been actively launching drones and missiles at shipping targets in the Red Sea since November, asserting that their actions are in solidarity with Palestinians during the Gaza war. Last month, a deadly Houthi drone strike on Tel Aviv led to Israeli air strikes on Hodeida, Yemen’s vital port. These strikes killed nine people and triggered a massive inferno.

Al-Huthi described the killing of the Hamas leader as "a flagrant violation of all norms and principles." He also condemned the killing of Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr in a Beirut strike claimed by Israel, further criticizing these actions as severe escalations.

The ongoing conflict has seen the Houthi rebels increasingly involved in regional tensions, with their actions and responses contributing to the broader instability in the Middle East. As the situation continues to evolve, the international community remains watchful of potential further escalations and their implications for regional security.
