The Iranian-backed Houthis, who have targeted ships in the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, have stated they will pause attacks during the Gaza ceasefire – but only while the truce holds.

The Bab al-Mandab strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, is a vital maritime chokepoint linking the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean.
