A spokesman for al-Bukhaiti said the Houthis will suspend aid operations to Gaza when the crackdown will begin on Sunday.

The Houthi rebels have supported Gaza an armistice agreement came between Israel and Hamas, with a spokesman for the Yemeni group saying they would suspend their military operations against Israel and merchant ships in the Red Sea if the agreement comes into force on Sunday.

“If Israel stops violence in Gaza, and if the US, the UK and Israel stop violence against Yemen, the Houthis will stop their activities, including attacking ships and commercial ships,” Mohammed al-Bukhaiti told Al Jazeera on Saturday.

The UK and the United States have done it a lot of beatings on targets inside Yemen to stop the Houthis. Washington as well punished in a group linked to Iran.

Israel, however, continues to kill women and children (in Gaza), so the Houthis were forced to launch a missile attack, he said, apparently referring to the missile strikes that began early Saturday.

The Israeli army said it shot down two rockets fired at Israel from Yemen in the morning and evening. One in the morning targeted central Israel, while the second was launched in the south of the country, a military statement said.

The Houthis also announced that they fired a missile at Central Israel in the morning. He has repeatedly said that he will stop the attack if Israel stops the attack on Gaza. 15 months of Israeli bombardment have killed more than 46,000 Palestinians and turned Gaza into a wasteland.

Israel has bombed ports controlled by the Houthis, including the port of Hodeidah, which is seen as a lifeline for the war-torn country, as well as electricity.

The Houthi attack supports the Palestinians

The team has been firing rockets at Israel from October 2024, in what he says is a show of solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza. Houthi rebels also target naval and commercial vessels connected to Israel and its allies that pass through Bab al-Mandeb in the Red Sea, disrupting international trade.

Israel justified its brutal military attack by claiming that it wanted to defeat the militant group Hamas, which carried out an attack inside Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed nearly 1,100 people. The Palestinian army also took about 250 people.

But Israel has been accused of war crimes and the killing of Palestinians by rights groups. The International Court of Justice in February 2024 declared that the Israeli attack was “clearly” genocide. Israel has denied the allegations.

Israel and Hamas he announced a ceasefire agreement on Wednesday that will stop it A 15-month war which has devastated the Palestinian territories, where nearly 90 percent of its population 2.3 have fled their homes and many of them are suffering from hunger.

Short stoppage in November 2023 saw the release of 110 Israeli prisoners and 240 Palestinian prisoners.

In the first phase of the end of the war, 33 Israeli prisoners will be released in exchange for about 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Egypt.

But the Israeli military has escalated tensions in Gaza since the deal killed at least 123 people. The Israeli military said it carried out attacks on 50 “terrorists” across Gaza on Friday.

A spokesman for the al-Quds Brigades, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, says the group is making final preparations to free the prisoners but the increasing threat of Israeli bombardment is killing them.
