Houthis said they are on high alert to respond to any potential attacks against Yemen, according to a senior official. Major-General Mohammed al-Atifi, defence minister of the Houthi-led government, said the group is prepared to confront “any aggression against the Yemeni people.” In a statement, he said the latest phase of the conflict involving what he described as the “Zionist and American enemy” demonstrated unity among allied fronts and highlighted the effectiveness of military operations carried out by the so-called axis of resistance. The Houthis formally joined the US-Israel war involving Iran in late March, launching multiple long-range ballistic missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, opening a new front in the conflict. The group has vowed to continue its attacks until the war ends, using its arsenal to strike sensitive military sites and warning that operations could expand to maritime traffic in the Red Sea.
