‘Wave of retaliation’ for Israel after Haniyeh killing, Houthis say

Deputy chairman of the Houthi media authority Nasr al-Din Amer says Israel should expect a “wave of retaliation” following the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, Aljazeera reported.

“[Israel] has crossed very big red lines in the midst of a fierce battle and amidst negotiations,” Din Amer said.

Over the last months, the Houthis have launched missiles and drone attacks at Israel and at vessels in the Red Sea, disrupting international trade, in response to Israel’s war on Gaza.
