The Media Line Unveils Houthi Threats Against US and Israel in Exclusive Report
In an exclusive interview with The Media Line, prominent Houthi figure Abdul Sattar Al-Nehmi has promised “more surprises” for the US and Israel, following a series of attacks that have escalated tensions in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. Reporter Anwar Muneer delves into the recent shift in Houthi tactics, which now include submarine warfare and attacks on commercial vessels, causing the first civilian casualties in their maritime campaign.
Since the outbreak of conflict between Israel and Hamas last October, the Houthis have expanded their operations, targeting 61 ships with 96 missile and drone strikes. These aggressive maneuvers have resulted in significant international concern, with a recent attack sinking the Rubymar cargo ship and another missile strike on the True Confidence, killing three sailors.

Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
The Houthi’s actions have sparked a debate on their objectives, with claims of supporting Gaza against Israeli aggression. Al-Nehmi communicated to The Media Line their intention to persist in their operations to pressure global powers into meeting their demands, which include ceasing Israeli military operations in Gaza and increasing humanitarian aid to the region.
Observers and analysts, including freelance journalist Samah Lutf and Associate Professor of Sociology Ahlam Al-Qadi, suggest that the Houthis are leveraging these attacks for greater regional influence and internal support, underpinned by substantial Iranian backing. This comprehensive report by Muneer at The Media Line covers the intricate dynamics of the Houthi’s increasing belligerency and its implications for maritime security and regional politics.
