The Houthis have vowed to continue their military operations against Israel in solidarity with Palestinians despite intensified Israeli air strikes in Yemen. Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a Houthi official, stated that their attacks would not cease until Israel stopped what he called the genocide in Gaza. In response to over a year of assaults from the Houthis, Israel has conducted multiple air strikes in Yemen, targeting airports and other infrastructure. UN Secretary General António Guterres expressed grave concerns about the escalation and its impact on humanitarian efforts in the region.
