Houthis have trained 20,000 fighters to participate in the war in the Gaza Strip

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] About 20 thousand Houthis have been prepared to participate in the conflict and be sent to the Gaza Strip, the Yemeni government news agency Saba reported.
But how are they to get there? Between Israel and Egypt Gaza is entirely surrounded.
The fighters were trained by the Ansar Allah (Houthis) movement that rules northern Yemen. At the end of the military course, a militia parade was organized for the first graduates in the Hajjah province in northwestern Yemen. At the event, 20 thousand reservists chanted slogans in support of the oppressed Palestinian people.
Remember the fate of those who joined in the first three wars against Israel — in 1948, 1967, and 1973...
The agency noted that the graduates expressed their readiness to participate in hostilities along with the Yemeni armed forces against Israel and the American coalition.

As Regnum reported , Palestinian Ambassador to Vienna Salah Abdel Shafi did not rule out expanding the conflict in the Middle East. According to him, there is a very tense situation between Israel and Hezbollah on the border with Lebanon; the escalation has not yet gone beyond the limits, but there are no guarantees for this.

Shipping traffic in the Red Sea has been almost suspended due to attacks by Yemen's Houthis on ships heading towards Israel. The conflict could fuel a fire in the region. If the situation in the Gaza Strip does not improve in the near future, then escalation cannot be ruled out, the ambassador added.

The representative of the Houthi movement, member of the Politburo of Ansar Allah, Khuzam al-Assad , said that a general mobilization was announced in the north of Yemen to send fighters to the Gaza Strip. The recruits will become a force that is called upon to “support the people in the Gaza Strip who have been subjected to genocide by Israel with the support of the United States.” He noted that this army is ready to take part in the conflict in the Gaza Strip if “there are conditions and opportunities for this.”

Remember the Mavi Marmara and that first Gaza Freedom Flotilla...
