Mobilization in Support of Hamas: Yemeni Houthis Prepare for Combat
General Mobilization in Yemen
In the north of Yemen, there is an active mobilization of young people who have expressed a desire to join the military operations on the side of Hamas in the Gaza Strip. This information was confirmed by Huzam al-Asad, a member of the political bureau of the Ansar Allah movement (Houthis), in an interview with the Russian edition of RIA Novosti.
Voluntary training of youth
According to al-Asad, the mobilization has covered all the provinces of Yemen. Several groups of young people have already been formed and have undergone special training in training camps. He noted that these measures are aimed at supporting the population of Gaza, which, according to the Houthis, is being subjected to genocide.
Houthis' position on participation in the conflict
The Houthi representative stressed that Yemeni militants are ready to join the fighting on the side of Hamas if the appropriate conditions and opportunities arise. However, he did not specify how exactly the mobilized fighters plan to get to the conflict zone.
Threat of attacks on Israeli ships
Recently, Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi threatened to attack Israeli ships in the Red Sea, especially in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Analysts point out that the Houthis have the resources to carry out such attacks, thanks to the support of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
US Response to Houthi Actions
In response to the Houthi threats, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced the launch of Operation Prosperity Guardian. This multinational security initiative, which operates under the auspices of the Joint Maritime Forces, aims to ensure the security and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea
