01 · THE DISPATCH

Western intelligence sources report that Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi movement is using the regional ceasefire to improve the range and accuracy of its missile arsenal, according to a report published Monday by Jewish Breaking News. The report states that the Houthis are capitalizing on the relative calm to advance their capabilities, raising the stakes for Israel, Red Sea security, and one of the world's most critical shipping lanes. Israeli officials cited in the report warn that the account with the Houthis is not closed, despite the current quiet on the Yemen front. The assessment aligns with a bulletin The Zioneer published earlier Monday, which cited Western intelligence sources speaking to i24NEWS stating that the Houthis are conducting tests to enhance missile capabilities. No specific details on the types of missiles or the extent of the improvements were disclosed in this report. The development comes amid sustained multi-front readiness and follows repeated Israeli security warnings that the Houthi threat has not been neutralized.
