JEDDAH (KAAB TV) – In certain regions of Yemen, a renewed military campaign is being orchestrated by the United States, in coordination with its Arab allies, to weaken and ultimately dismantle the Houthi movement, which currently controls significant portions of the country.
The U.S. and several allied Arab states continue to back Yemen’s internationally recognized but weakened government. In a major escalation, the recognized government has reportedly mobilized a force of up to 80,000 troops for a large-scale offensive targeting key strategic cities under Houthi control.
These forces are expected to receive multifaceted support from the United States, including logistical, intelligence, and possibly direct military assistance. Although prior airstrikes by the U.S. and its allies have targeted Houthi positions, they have so far had limited impact on the group’s capabilities.
Despite the mounting preparations for an offensive, reports indicate that Saudi Arabia has declined to participate in the planned invasion of Hodeidah, a critical port city currently held by the Houthis.
