```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on March 28 that Javier Blas, an energy and commodity columnist, stated that the Houthi armed group has entered the conflict, claiming to have launched a ballistic missile towards Iran. A more important issue regarding their involvement is whether they will attempt to disrupt shipping in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, which could effectively undermine Saudi Arabia’s efforts to bypass the Strait of Hormuz via its east-west oil pipelines. So far, we have not seen any activity from the Houthi armed group in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. However, this does not mean it won’t happen in the future.

The current probability is 60%, with an average probability over the past 7 days of 18.1%. On March 28, 2026, the Houthi armed group announced that it had launched a ballistic missile attack on southern Israel. This is the first direct military action by the Houthis against Israeli territory since the recent outbreak of the Iran–US/Israel conflict. The group claims to have targeted "sensitive military facilities" in southern Israel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that a missile launched from the direction of Yemen was detected and said it was successfully intercepted, with no reports of casualties at present. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree stated that this action was in response to US and Israeli military actions against targets in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine, and emphasized that their operations will continue until the "aggression stops." Recently, Houthi officials have issued multiple warnings, stating that blockading the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait is among their "viable options."
