Saudi plan to attack Houthis soon
Saudi Arabia intends to launch a military attack on the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) in Yemen within weeks, aiming to halt the gains made by the Houthis last month when they took control of the Bab Al-Mandab Strait. The plans include the possibility of carrying out a limited operation targeting the strait area or a broader assault involving multiple fronts across Yemeni provinces such as Al-Bayda, Marib, Taiz, and Al-Jawf, led by Yemeni forces with aerial support from Saudi Arabia. The main objective is to regain control of the coastal areas and ensure freedom of maritime navigation, especially in the Bab Al-Mandab Strait. Analysts have not ruled out that the attack might be less extensive than previous operations in 2015, with a focus on restoring the situation to the pre-Houthi control. Some regional countries and European nations will assist in the operations, while the United States is providing intelligence support during the preparations. Pakistan and Turkey are working to supply Saudi Arabia with military equipment and help in defense.
