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.

Houthis claim responsibility for attempted drone attack on Israel
[IsraelTimes] The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for this afternoon’s attempted drone attack on Israel.
In a statement, the Houthis claim to have launched three drones at Israel, targeting “Zionist enemy military targets” in Tel Aviv, Ashkelon and Haifa.
According to the IDF, only one drone reached Israel, and it was shot down by the Israeli Air Force over the Egyptian border, near the community of Bnei Netzarim, where sirens had sounded.
The other two drones likely fell short before reaching the country.
