Since the outbreak of the latest Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, the Houthis \u2014 officially known as Ansar Allah (supporters of Allah) and whose official slogan states, \u201cAllah is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Cursed be the Jews, Victory to Islam\u201d\u00a0 \u2014 have declared war on Israel, launched a barrage of long-range missiles and attack drones at the Jewish state, and hijacked Israeli-linked cargo ships in the Red Sea.<\/p>\n

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree recently threatened to prevent all Israel-bound cargo ships, regardless of national origin, from passing through the Bab el-Mandab Strait, a strategic chokepoint that divides the Middle East from the Horn of Africa and connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden, one of the world\u2019s busiest maritime routes.<\/p>\n
