A Hezbollah spokesman said on Tuesday that the Houthis are planning a “fifth stage” in their war against Israel, which will include gas rigs and energy facilities.

The representative from Iran’s Lebanese terror proxy told the Hezbollah-affiliated Al Akhbar newspaper that Iran’s terror proxy in Yemen plans “surprise operations in areas that have not been reached so far, also an escalation in attacks on Israeli ships and those related to Israel. It will also include new, advanced, high-quality, long-range weapons that cannot be intercepted.”

The gas and energy targets are planned in retaliation for the Israeli attack in Yemen and include the Leviathan and Tamar natural gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel.
