Yemeni Houthi Fighters March Toward Israeli Border, Seek Saudi Approval for Passage (Video)

Thousands of Yemen Houthi fighters have raised alarms across the world as they reportedly march towards Israel’s border, claiming to show support for Hamas in Gaza. This provocative move involves around 10,000 armed Houthi fighters who claim to be determined to attack Israel. Houthi officials have sought Saudi Arabia’s permission for their fighters to transit through its soil, adding a layer of complexity to an already tense situation, as the Saudis have agreed to the Abraham accord with the Israelis and the Iranians, who back the Yemen Houthis, have been waging a proxy war with the Saudis for years now.

In a video released by the Houthis, thousands of armed men are seen marching while holding Palestinian and Yemen flags, signaling their intention to attack Israel.

The timing of this march, coinciding with the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, suggests a deliberate escalation by the Houthi fighters. The geopolitical implications extend beyond their anti-Israel rhetoric as they navigate through the intricate web of Middle Eastern alliances.

The Houthi movement, known for its Islamic hardline ideology, has been a destabilizing force in Yemen since 2014, and their latest actions only amplify concerns about their regional ambitions. The Houthis also famously have a slogan, which is often seen written on signs at Houthi demonstrations.

Allah is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam”

This will be worth following, as only infantry can be seen in the video, with no supply trucks or heavy weaponry. So this could also be a purely symbolic maneuver as there is no way 10,000 soldiers with no supply chain could possibly take on a professional and well-equipped army.
