...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 God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements.

military chief of staff Muhammad al-Ghamari was at a khat-leaf-chewing gathering when an Israeli strike targeted him over the weekend, Hebrew media reported Wednesday.

While some Hebrew media reports initially said Saturday that al-Ghamari was believed to have been meeting with other Houthi leaders at the time of the strike, the Kan public broadcaster reported Wednesday evening that he was attending a social gathering for taking the drug.

Kan reported that the defense establishment received word that the Houthi military chief had been seriously injured in the strike and the attempted liquidation had ultimately failed.

The IDF did not comment on the report.

they also present several health risks, including depression, irritability, increased blood pressure and heart rate, loss of appetite, and insomnia.

It is considered a "drug of abuse" by the World Health Organization.

According to the Ynet news site, the Houthis set up roadblocks in the area after the incident, and ambulances were called.

It cited a source in Yemen as saying that al-Ghamari, trained in Iran, had coordinated between the Houthis and Iran, and overseen the Houthis’ missile program.
