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 Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... missile over the Jizan Region. The Houthi forces’ rocket battalion fired a Badr-1 ballistic missile towards the Saudi military’s al-Faisal Base in the Jizan Region this morning. This attempted attack on a Saudi installation marks the third time this week that the Houthi forces have launched a missile towards this Gulf kingdom. All of the missiles fired by the Houthi forces this week have been intercepted by the Saudi air defenses. |
