"However, in an undated letter to Hamas's Qassam Brigades, recently published online, the Houthis have indicated that they have halted their attacks. The group has not formally announced it has ceased attacking ships in the region. We are closely monitoring developments and declare that if the enemy resumes its aggression against Gaza, we will return to our military operations deep inside the Zionist entity [Israel], and we will reinstate the ban on Israeli navigation in the Red and Arabian Seas, the letter from Yusuf Hassan al-Madani, the Houthi armed forces' chief of staff, reads."
"A shaky United States-brokered ceasefire took effect in Gaza on October 10. Israel has repeatedly violated the brokered deal, killing more than 240 Palestinians in continued strikes on Gaza. Israel's war on Gaza has killed at least 69,182 Palestinians and wounded more than 170,700 since October 2023. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks, and about 200 were taken captive."
Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a maritime campaign in the Red Sea since late 2023, targeting vessels linked to Israel or its supporters and sinking four ships while killing at least nine mariners. An undated letter to Hamas's Qassam Brigades indicated the Houthis have halted attacks amid a shaky United States-brokered ceasefire, though no formal cessation was declared. The letter warned of renewed military operations and a reinstated ban on Israeli navigation if Israel resumes aggression. The campaign severely disrupted transits through the Suez Canal and affected global shipping valued at about $1 trillion annually.
