...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates.

rebels said they "launched a wide operation targeting warplanes at Abha international airport" with drones, according to their al-Masira television channel.

The rebels in neighbouring Yemen ‐ who have faced persistent coalition bombing since March 2015 which has exacted a heavy civilian corpse count ‐ have stepped up missile and drone attacks across the border in recent weeks.

On June 12, a rebel missile attack on Abha airport maimed 26 civilians, drawing promises of "stern action" from the coalition. On June 23, another rebel attack on Abha airport killed a Syrian national and maimed 21 other civilians, according to the coalition.

The Houthi said on Tuesday they will "not hesitate" to launch operations against Saudi Arabia and the coalition, adding they have a new missile system. "Our forces are capable of targeting a number of targets simultaneously and with different weapons," said a Huthi front man during a televised presser.

He said targets include oil pipelines and facilities.

The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews.
