Houthi Attacks Will Potentially Hit Yemen's Mocha and UAE-Israel Land Route- Sources
Informed sources told Sheba Intelligence today the Ansar Allah (Houthi) group is planning to carry out a double attack with missiles and drones on multiple fronts, including attacks on Israeli, British, and American commercial ships in "solidarity" with Palestine.
The sources indicated that the attacks are likely to target ports accommodating ships and trucks in the United Arab Emirates, which adopted a new route to transport goods to Israel via a long land route between Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv.
Meanwhile, the sources said the Houthi group has extensively deployed missiles and drones to areas in the provinces of Al-Jawf and Saada, from which Dubai could be targeted. According to the sources, military leaders from the Houthi group held several meetings with foreign experts in the areas of Baqim and Dhahyan in Saada province.
Military observers also indicate the Houthi group will potentially launch a military operation that may target areas under the control of the Yemeni government, including Mocha, on the Red Sea, Mayon Island, and the Bab Al-Mandab Strait.
Lately, the group has sent highly trained military units to Al-Hudaydah, which suggests the Houthi preparation for battles against local and international forces on land and at sea.
The Houthis deployed more advanced missile bases in some areas near the Red Sea coast, such as Bajil and Al-Kathib in Hodeidah, and drone launch platforms in Kamaran Island, according to the sources.
On Thursday, Yemen's Houthis will introduce military "surprises" in their Red Sea operations, the Iran-aligned group's leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi said in a televised speech on Thursday."Our military operations will continue and advance, and we have surprises that our enemies will not expect at all," al-Houthi said.
The Houthis have repeatedly launched drones and missiles against international commercial shipping since mid-November, saying they are acting in support of Palestinians in Gaza, where Israel has killed over 30000 people since October last year.
