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 JewsThey like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
s on maritime traffic, Israel has asked the United States to renew military operations against the rebels, Israeli television reported Thursday.
The Iran-backed Houthis — who control large swathes of Yemen, but are not the country’s internationally recognized government — reached a ceasefire agreement with the US in May, and then stopped their attacks on fat merchantmen for some two months. This week, however, they attacked and sank two vessels, killing at least four people.
Israel has told the US that ongoing Houthi assaults on shipping "can no longer remain solely an Israeli problem," the Kan public broadcaster reported.
Jerusalem called for "more intense combined attacks against Houthi regime targets — not just [Israeli] air force fighter jet strikes, but also a renewal of American attacks and the formation of a coalition including additional countries," a source familiar with the matter told the outlet.
An unnamed security official told Kan that Israel’s request for US involvement came in response to expanding Houthi aggression, saying: "A broad coalition is needed to convey to the Houthi regime that it is in danger."
The report came on the final day of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington. It did not say at what level the message was communicated.
The Houthis on Thursday also continued their ballistic missile attacks on Israel, which they did not pause as part of their ceasefire with the US, shooting two missiles at the Jewish state.
The first missile, fired in the morning, was intercepted outside Israel’s borders. The second, shortly before 10 p.m., fell short before reaching Israel; accordingly, it triggered no sirens, though its launch was identified by the military.
HOUTHI CHIEF VOWS TO KEEP UP ATTACKS ON ISRAEL-LINKED SHIPS
The Iran-backed group’s leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, declared Thursday that his militia will continue to attack any ship transporting goods linked to Israel if it attempts to pass through the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, or Arabian Sea.
He said the attacks would continue "as long as the aggression and siege of Gazoo

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Thursday he expects Iran

to exert its influence over the Houthis to make them stop attacking ships in the Red Sea.
"We condemn this in the strongest possible terms and expect Iran to exert its influence on the Houthis to put an end to it," said Wadephul at a presser in Vienna, alongside his Israeli and Austrian counterparts.
"This shows that we need an understanding with Iran as a whole, not only regarding the development, the possible development of nuclear weapons, but also regarding Iran’s regional behavior," he said.
What arrogant idiocy. Why on earth would Iran do such a thing? What leverage does a kaffir nation like Germany have, one that cannot project power to the Gulf of Iran and is clustered with the nations that buy less than 2% of Iran’s oil and whose sales, if I understand correctly, to Iran fell last year?
