The Iran-backed Houthis have put on a kind of brave face after facing Israeli retaliation for the attack on Friday on Tel Aviv that killed one Israeli and wounded ten others. The group faced a large retaliatory strike on Saturday.

Now, the Houthis say they will continue their attacks. Their media and officials played up an attempted attack on Eilat overnight between July 20 and July 21.

The pro-Iran Al-Mayadeen media blanketed its coverage with stories about the Houthis. One article says that “a special Yemeni source confirms to Al-Mayadeen that there is continuous coordination between Yemen, the resistance in the Gaza Strip, and the resistance axis in the region, stressing that this coordination has reached an advanced level.” This means that the Houthis expect to coordinate more attacks with militias in Iraq and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Eight Members of Knesset from the ruling Likud party warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that was published on Sunday not to make what they deemed unacceptable concessions to Hamas as part of a hostage deal.

The MKs explained in the warning letter that they intentionally issued it ahead of Netanyahu trip to the US this week, in order to counter pressure from "military, political, and international entities" to make concessions, and even hinted that there would be political repercussions if the prime minister decided to move forward with the deal regardless.

The letter was initiated by MK Amit Halevi, and the other signers were Hanoch Milvitsky, Dan Illouz, Moshe Saada, Ariel Kallner, Shalom Danino, Tali Gotliv, and Nissim Vaturi.
