The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, which is affiliated with Hezbollah, cited a "knowledgeable military source" in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, which is under the control of the Houthi rebels. He claimed that "the American show of force in the Red Sea will not last," and added that he expects a "return of attacks" like those suffered by American aircraft carriers and warships in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, while the Houthis "supported" the Gaza Strip.
