The Houthis Have Miscalculated
The Houthis have convinced themselves that they will be able to survive the aerial attacks that the Americans have recently launched on military airbases, ports, and on weapons depots and combatants in northern Yemen; they think the Americans will tire of the fight, and will choose to concentrate their efforts elsewhere, on negotiating with Iran […]
Houthis recruiting Muslim migrants from Africa to offset battlefield losses

He is vowing to obliterate the group altogether. The same vow has been made regarding Hamas. Both, as of this writing, still exist, but of course, the last chapter has not yet been written.

U.S. airstrikes kill ‘key Houthi leadership’ in Yemen, strikes to continue indefinitely
Back in November, the US and UK “launched multiple airstrikes against targets” at the Houthi stronghold in the Yemen capital of Sana’a, and in “other regions” across the country.
