The Houthi movement in Yemen claims it will soon announce a 'broad and significant' military operation, according to a report by security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The group has previously claimed it would unveil a 'special military operation' in July.
The Houthi claim, reported by analyst Yair Goldblatt, comes amid an ongoing campaign by the Iran-backed group against Israel and regional adversaries. The Houthis have previously stated they would announce a 'special military operation,' as reported by The Zioneer on July 22. The new wording—'broad and significant'—may signal a more ambitious phase. In recent weeks, Israel has publicly threatened to target Houthi leadership, with Defense Minister Israel Katz stating on June 24 that the group's leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, is a target for elimination. The Houthis have also claimed recent missile strikes on Israel and Saudi Arabia, and have escalated rhetoric amid preparations for a possible joint US-Israeli-Gulf operation. The specific nature and timing of the claimed operation remain unclear.
