The Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, is an Islamist rebel movement fighting in the Yemen Civil War.
They are primarily made up of Shia Muslims and their name comes from their leadership being primarily from the Houthi tribe.
Widely believed to be an Iran-backed proxy group, the Houthis are also known for their antisemitic views. Their slogan is "God is the Greatest. Death to America. Death to Israel. A Curse Upon the Jews. Victory to Islam."
Iran carefully crafted a strategy that warned its loyalist militias to refrain from acting as recognized states on the international stage.
"The Islamic Republic doesn’t have proxy forces. Yemen fights due to their faith. Hezbollah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad fight because their beliefs compel them to do so,” Khamenei said.
This government is sworn to protect Israel’s security; its eye cannot be taken off the ball.
The figure urged Israel to target one of the Houthi's key military commanders, Abdullah Yahya al-Hakim, who he described as the "military brain" of the Houthis.
Recent strikes into central Israel hint that Iran has refined its attack strategy, leveraging both direct launches and supplying missiles to Yemen's Houthis.
The Houthis are one example where precision strikes on infrastructure such as ports may not work to win the conflict.
Since the beginning of Houthi attacks on international shipping last year, calls to the UKMTO have risen by 86%.
