Israeli concern over Houthis' control of Bab al-Mandab
Houthi forces in Yemen have achieved control over large parts of the western coast, including the Bureim Island and Zubab city near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world's most vital maritime passages. This expansion increases the group's ability to monitor navigation and threaten ships using missiles and drones, raising Israeli concerns about the impact on international shipping and movement in the Red Sea. Controlling this strategic area is a significant step in strengthening the Houthis' presence along the Yemeni coast, at a time when Israeli fears are escalating over developments on the ground in the region.
