About

The Houthis are a Yemen-based, Zaidi Shia Muslim political and military organization. They have been a significant force in Yemen's ongoing civil war and have a history of conflict with Saudi Arabia and other regional actors. They are reportedly backed by Iran. The Houthis are newsworthy due to their claimed involvement in the escalating conflict in the Middle East, specifically their claim of a cluster missile attack on Israel's Ben Gurion airport. This action, reported in April 2026, highlights their participation in the broader regional tensions involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. Their actions contribute to the instability and complexity of the conflict, impacting international shipping routes and potentially drawing in other nations.
