The Huthis would “begin working to enforce a naval blockade of the port of Haifa,“ said military spokesman Yehya Saree.
The move was “in response to the Israeli enemy’s escalation of its brutal aggression against our people and in Gaza,“ he said, adding that attacks on Israel would “cease once the aggression on Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted”.
The Iran-backed Huthis have regularly fired missiles and drones at Israel since the Gaza war broke out in October 2023, following a Hamas attack on Israel.
They have threatened to resume attacks on international shipping over Israel’s aid blockade on Gaza. In response, the US military began hammering the rebels with near-daily air strikes starting March 15 to head off threats to ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
On Friday, Israel threatened to target Huthi leaders after Israeli fighter jets struck two rebel-held ports. Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz warned Huthi leaders that if missile attacks continue, they face the same fate as Hamas leaders slain by Israel in Gaza.
