Direct Israel-Gaza: last hour of the conflict in the Middle East

The leader of the Chiís Hutíes of Yemen, Abdelmalek al Huti, launched a warning to Israel on Wednesday, and threatened with a new climb if the blockade on the Gaza strip is not lifted. In a televised speech, the leader Hutí declared that the actions undertaken so far to interrupt Israeli navigation in regional waters are only the beginning of his response to the siege and the humanitarian crisis suffered by Gaza. “We affirm that the prohibition of Israeli navigation in the Red Sea, Bab al Mandeb, the Gulf of Adén and the Arabic sea is not the roof of our position; rather, it is only the first step of our position,” he told Huti. His statements occur a day after the group’s military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, announced that attacks against Israeli ships would resume in response to the continuous blockade of Gaza by Israel, which has seriously restricted the entry of humanitarian aid and goods into the besieged enclave.
