Alarm over potential Eilat attack met with skepticism, though not toward Houthi threat

Dr. Yossi Mansharof: For over a year now, I have been warning in my various publications about a significant shift in the threat landscape: the Houthis are not content with launching missiles and drones, but are actively training for a ground invasion of Israel.

Their media outlets have documented drills involving tunnel infiltrations, the seizure of Israeli bases, and the abduction of soldiers. These exercises include the use of drones, tanks, machine guns, missiles, and rockets, tools intended to facilitate the conquest of Israeli territory.
