Instead of bombing campaigns against Israeli cities, IMO Houthis and hezbos should team up to go after shipping lines. One could threaten Haifa, the other pick ships inbound to Eliat from Bab-Al Mandeb strait.
I never quite notice their vulnerability to imports.
If shipping companies decide Israeli ports are too risky, the country could soon find itself running out of food

“Nobody wants to go into a port and not be able to get out, as happened in Ukraine,” said Neil Roberts, a secretary of the Joint War Committee, a maritime body that classifies international waters according to risk. Indeed, ship owners and insurers have had to revise their assessment of Israeli authorities’ ability to keep the country safe.
Shipping lines and their underwriters are getting decidedly nervous about Israeli port calls. Israeli and Lebanese ports are already in London insurers’ highest risk category, which means that shipping lines need their insurers’ agreement for all port calls there and pay a war risk premium for doing so. (London insurers dominate global maritime insurance and form the global standard.)
They have good anti shipping capabilities.
