Houthis (Ansar Allah)

The Houthis, also known as Ansar Allah, are a Yemeni armed group aligned with Iran. They are currently newsworthy due to their increasing involvement in the ongoing conflict involving Israel and the US. Recently, the Houthis have followed through on earlier threats and launched missiles towards Israel, marking a significant escalation of regional tensions. They have also indicated that all options are on the table, including potentially joining Iran in a broader conflict. The group has a history of attacking Israel and shipping in the Red Sea. Their actions are significant because they open a new front in the conflict and raise fears of a wider regional war.
