[Regnum] The Houthi movement, which controls northern Yemen, announced a general mobilization to further send fighters to the Gaza Strip. This was stated by the representative of the movement, member of the Ansar Allah Politburo Khuzam al-Assad in a conversation with RIA Novosti.
A modern version of the Children’s Crusade.
“As for the general popular mobilization in support of our people in the Gaza Strip, it has been launched in all governorates, training camps have been opened, tens of thousands of young people have volunteered to learn military skills, several groups have already graduated in various governorates of Yemen,” Al said. -Assad.

According to a spokesman for the Houthi movement, the recruits will become a force that is called upon to “support the people in the Gaza Strip, which are being subjected to genocide by Israel with the support of the United States.”

He also noted that this army will be able to take part in the conflict in the Gaza Strip if “there are conditions and opportunities for this.”
They could take Yemenia Airlines, the national airline of Yemen, though it’s not clear any maintenance has been done since 1977...
Earlier, in a conversation with news agency Regnum, orientalist Artyom Kirpichenok said that “many different surprises can be expected” from the Houthis. He noted that the Houthis recently expressed support for the population of the Gaza Strip, which is under Israeli fire. According to the expert, in recent weeks the Houthis, using missiles and commandos, have intercepted ships that either belong to Israeli companies or are carrying cargo to Israeli ports on the Red Sea.
...but mostly are ships unconnected to Israel that happen to be moving through the Bab el Mandeb Strait.
And this dealt a very serious blow to trade in the region. Many companies involved in the transportation of containers refused to deliver goods to Israel. Transportation prices have risen.

Before this, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin announced on December 18 the start of a multinational operation to protect the Red Sea amid Houthi attacks on merchant ships.

Off the coast of Yemen on December 14, the Houthis attacked a container ship of the Danish company Maersk in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, heading to Israel.

Israeli Ambassador to Moscow Alexander Ben Zvi said on November 1 that his country is not at war with Yemen.

Borrell: EU countries have decided to take part in the US operation in the Red Sea
What does that mean, precisely?
The EU countries decided to take part in the American operation in the Red Sea. This was stated by the head of the EU foreign policy department, Josep Borrell, on the social network X.

“Member states have agreed to contribute to the US operation Prosperity Guardian through Operation Atalanta,” Borrell wrote.

The decision, as the head of European diplomacy explained, was made at an extraordinary meeting, which he convened personally.

According to Borrell, the actions of Yemen's Houthis are irresponsible and pose a threat to shipping in the Red Sea.

As Regnum reported, Operation Guardian of Prosperity will take place in the Red Sea after Houthi attacks on merchant ships. This was announced by Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin.

In early December, the Houthis attacked the American warship USS Carney with missiles and drones in the Red Sea. According to UK-based maritime security company Ambrey, the cargo ship was damaged in a drone strike off the northern Yemeni port of Hodeidah.

Off the coast of Yemen on December 14, the Houthis attacked a container ship of the Danish company Maersk in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, heading to Israel.

The Houthi movement, which controls northern Yemen, announced a general mobilization to further send fighters to the Gaza Strip. This was stated by the representative of the movement, member of the Ansar Allah Politburo Khuzam al-Assad.
