JAKARTA - The Yemen-based Houthi group gave a signal that it would stop attacks on Israel and ships in the Red Sea. With consideration, there was no agreement on the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

In a letter to the Qassam Hamas Brigade published Monday evening local time, the Houthis gave the clearest signal that their attack had been stopped.

"We are monitoring developments carefully and state that if the enemy continues his aggression against Gaza, we will return to our military operations deep within the Zionist entity, and we will reimpose the ban on Israel's navigation in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea," the letter reads, quoted from AFP, Wednesday 12 November.

However, the Houthis have yet to make an official announcement regarding the signal.

The Houthis are known to have gained international attention during Israel's war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Houthis carried out attacks on Israeli-affiliated ships as a form of support for Palestinian independence and strongly rejected Israeli military annexation in Gaza.

Since the ceasefire deal in Gaza began on October 10, no attacks have been claimed to have been initiated by the insurgent group.
