The Houthi group in Yemen announced that it has stopped attacks on Israel and ships in the Red Sea, in a message sent to the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas. This message is the strongest signal from the Houthis to cease attacks, although the group has not officially announced this. Houthi attacks on ships have resulted in the deaths of at least nine sailors and the sinking of four vessels, as well as disrupting navigation in the Red Sea. According to the Washington Post, the Houthi message to Hamas stated: 'The group is following developments closely and will return to operations deep inside Israel if it resumes attacks on Gaza, as well as targeting ships in the Red Sea on the grounds that they are transporting weapons to Israel.'
