Of course it is back up. The real question is who is running it? It could be the gang, law enforcement or someone else.

They steal, they disrupt, and when they attack healthcare, people can die. Worse, it's not even for a cause-- it's because they're greedy asshats.
Put bounties on them. Large ones.

If those other countries won't enforce their own laws - and make no mistake, these groups are breaking the law in the country they're in - then they're endorsing the attack. And it would be perfectly legitimate to interpret that as a deliberate act of war. And all sovereign countries have the right to defend against acts of war.

Already discussed.
Since you're now pretending to have not read what's already been said, you have admitted I'm right, and that you know it.
Or maybe you really are this stupid. Could be either way.

Kidnap and torture are always inappropriate. We'll see how history views your war in response to some locked files.
Now suppose those locked files are vital to patient health in the hospital you just intentionally looted.

Firing missiles at commercial ships is also an act of war. And yet we do not declare war on the Houthis, we just destroy their missile sites.
Providing arms to a terrorist group so it can fire missiles at ships is an act of war. And yet no one has declared war on Iran, even when they knowingly have a an intelligence gathering ship actively providing targeting information to the Houthis to direct their Iranian provided missiles [nbcnews.com].

That says more about the weakness of the current administration (which should surprise no one) than it does about international law.

Which would be why we don't do more to stop it, and don't do more to those caught perpetrating such acts. We fucking WORSHIP greedy assholes. It's the be-all, end-all of human existence. Greed for the sake of greed is its own kind of religion, and law-enforcement, government regulators, and the government officials that make up that enforcement, all practice that religion. It's why most of us need to just barely get by so that some of us can live larger than life. Because "Greed Is God."
