The assassination of Houthi Chief of Staff Muhammad al-Ghamari, following the Gaza ceasefire, has not diminished the resolve of the Iran-backed group. Large crowds in Sanaa have pledged to continue their struggle, signaling that the Houthis remain a significant force in the region. Once seen as a minor militia, the group now asserts it is operating from a position of strength, and the loss of their top commander is viewed as a symbolic setback rather than a decisive defeat. The Houthis' ambitions and operations are expected to persist despite recent events.
