Assessment
The Shin Bet chief has publicly warned of a concrete invasion and massacre threat to Eilat, elevating the Houthi menace from long-range missile attacks to a potential ground incursion.

The warning from Israel's internal security head suggests intelligence of an active plot, not merely rhetorical escalation. The timing and content of the video, coupled with the official alert, signal a significant shift in the nature of the threat from Yemen to Israel's southern port.
