Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

[Oldenwisdom...قول بزرگ]

You really think that financial issue will do jack to Israel? they have people in US that can throw few hundred billions in bailout if they really need it, like I said Houthis Missiles were practically useless against Israel.

Do you really want to know what I think... I shared that link exactly because they're sourcing funds...
Chip in.

 

[Oldenwisdom...قول بزرگ]

Um, yes.

Is that a gotcha?
Tell me why they're called Houthis in the first place?
Are all members of the tribe?
The military alone of 350,000 or the population under their domain of almost 30 million?
Are they all Houthi?

and No.

So, what mandate do Saudis have in perpetuating this civil war?

I don't understand your fist part or what you're trying to ask. The Houthis are a small clan in Yemen, yes a very small minority, that is also leading a political/militia movement which has conquered majority of Yemens population through force with the help of Iran. Obviously the population they control are not all Houthis or even remotely close to being the majority of it either.

Neither Saudi or Iran have a mandate, they both are interfering in the civil war on opposing sides to further their interests, although this will affect Saudi directly far more than Iran, since they share borders with them.

I don't disagree with you in gest as a rational response... however, Houthis didn't start as a tribal movement but a zaidi revival movement... hence their members.
It is awfully simplistic to say that they're in power because of Iran. As Saudis, a neighbor, not only has expended more resources but played too many cards both political and military and they still lost Sana'a. Where else can Iran pull this off... not even in Iraq with larger Shi'i population. And losing in Syria while onside to the government in power.
So, not totally accurate.

Yemeni forces announce the neutralization of 512 Houthi elements and leaders during the past 24 hours.

The houthis have 17 million sympathisers in Yemen..some for ideology, some for money...etc

Saudi Arabia has a mandate since it was asked by the legitimate government for help..I ran can't have a mandate to support the houthi..a recognized terrorist group..

Al-Alimi Vows to End the Houthi Coup:

• Houthi escalation will not stop Operation Dawn of Yemen from achieving its objectives.

• Targeting airports and civilian facilities will not deter the armed forces from continuing the battle to restore the state.

• The operation will continue until the coup is ended and state authority is established over all Yemeni territory.

• Houthi attempts to terrorize civilians will not enable them to impose their will or escape accountability.

• Protecting citizens and deterring sources of threat is a responsibility that the state will undertake with utmost resolve.

• The battle to restore state institutions will continue with the support of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy.

 

[The SC]

Our armed forces continue their offensive pressure on the enemy on the northern fronts, the Al-Jawf and western Ma'rib fronts, Al-Bayda, and the southern and western fronts as part of Operation "Dawn of Yemen." In the past 24 hours, they carried out 780 precise and direct targeting operations, striking field commanders, gatherings of the Houthi terrorist militia, their reinforcements, heavy weapons emplacements, fortified positions, vehicles, and personnel and supply transport.

These successive strikes disrupted the organization of their forces and prevented them from supporting their forward positions, thus bolstering the momentum of the offensive and enabling our units to continue their offensive missions on various fronts.

The operations resulted in the neutralization of approximately 512 militia members and commanders, and the destruction or disabling of more than 330 vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and other military vehicles, in addition to the destruction of heavy weapons and reinforcements that were en route to the fighting lines in Taiz.

The armed forces affirm that the militia’s capabilities and mobilizations will remain under surveillance and targeting, and that any attempt to compensate for its losses or regain the initiative will be met with force and decisiveness, in accordance with international humanitarian law, and taking the necessary precautions to protect civilians and civilian objects.

The spokesperson of the Houthis passed away on October 13, and then his statements and declarations continued after his passing. Today they announce its end "retroactively"! Who was speaking on his behalf all this time? Is there anything left of their credibility?!

[The SC]

The Giants Forces and the Homeland Shield took control of the Al-Ardi camp and area.

The Al-Ardi area is the real key towards complete control of Bab al-Mandab, given the close distance between the Al-Ardi area, which also overlooks the strait and is very close to the city of Bab al-Mandab.

Some people noticed that they were using AI and the Houthi supporters ridiculed these people and they were right. Because you can tell the difference between AI and real video if you look real close.

All the memes surrounding him is hilarious, in this meme he gets taken out by the Coalition spokesperson

Re: the genocide of Gaza.

One nation committed it.

Has anyone without legal immunity or anonymity accused a specific person, in prominent speech or writing, of taking part in "the genocide of Gaza"?

 

[KingQamaR]

Not much against Israel.

The Iron Dome and the US Thaad system both missed many Houthis missiles that have successfully hit Israel.

The number of Houthi missiles aimed at Israel that successfully hit their targets?
I think the total is...six?

In July 2024 a Houthi drone killed a civilian in Tel Aviv.
In December 2024 Houthi missiles struck Yavneh, Ramat Gan, and a playground in a mixed Arab-Jewish neighborhood of Jaffa. Over a dozen injured.
In May 2025 a Houthi missile landed near Ben-Gurion airport.

Am I missing something, here?

 

[prothought]

Houthis missiles have been damn very effective and precise.

Houthi terrorists cannot achieve a meaningful victory over Saudi Arabia by using these missile and done attacks. Like any other terrorist group, Houthis want to spread terror in Saudi people by attacking Saudi civil infrastructure including airports.

Saudi must not get cowed down by these Houthi terrorists for the sake of civilized world. Or else terrorists all over the world will replicate the same terror tactics to blackmail governments and states.

If anything, the world should go and punish the masters, i.e. Irani mullahs and their IRGC goons, of these Houthi terrorists for the sake of a safer world.
