A senior Houthi official on Saturday threatened to escalate the group's blockade of Saudi Arabia, warning that 'the era of proportional strikes has ended.' The statement, reported by Israeli media, did not specify how or when the blockade would be intensified. The Houthis have issued a series of threats against Riyadh in recent weeks. On July 13, a senior Houthi official told Saudi Arabia that 'patience has a limit,' as The Zioneer reported. Earlier, the Houthi military spokesman threatened to strike Saudi airports if the Saudi-led blockade of Yemen continued. The group's leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, has also warned that Saudi oil facilities would become targets. The latest threat does not provide a timeline or concrete measures, and it remains unclear whether the Houthis possess the capability to significantly tighten the blockade, which has already disrupted Red Sea shipping.
