[NEWARAB] On 19 December, Iran's Houthi sock puppets...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. Its slogan is

One week later, the Israeli military retaliated by striking Sanaa International Airport, the Hezyaz and Ras Kanatib power stations, and the infrastructure of Hodeidah, Salif, and Ras Kanatib ports.
These tit-for-tat military actions set off a renewed spiral of escalation between Israel and the Houthis. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ominously warned that the Houthis will follow Hamas

rhetoric, Israel's expanded military intervention against the Houthis is unlikely to produce a conclusive victory. Iran's sustained clandestine support for the Houthis and the Yemeni group's ability to create a siege mentality around Israeli strikes will help keep the stalemate intact.
Nevertheless, the intensifying Israel-Houthi conflict has the potential to metastasise beyond Yemen's borders and threaten Western commercial maritime assets.
ISRAEL'S UPHILL STRUGGLE FOR A MILITARY TRIUMPH
Although Israeli air defences have been largely effective in limiting civilian casualties from Houthi missile strikes, the attacks continue to be a thorn in Israel's side. The Eilat port is no longer a reliable transit hub and some Israeli vessels have been forced to circumnavigate Africa along circuitous routes.
The strikes have caused foreign airlines to cancel flights to Israel and tourism to dry up. These hits to the Israeli economy are unlikely to let up as some Houthi missiles and drones can breach Israel's highly sophisticated defences.
Why is Israel finding it so difficult to defuse the Houthi threat? A lack of preparedness for Houthi drone and missile strikes is one contributing factor. Even though Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi declared in March 2018 that ''we are prepared to send fighters in any Israeli war against Leb

or Paleostine'' and formed a robust alliance with Hezbollah, Israeli officials paid relatively little attention to the Houthi threat.
