Report: Yemen Houthis Fighting for Assad in Syria
(Jerusalem Post) Ariel Ben Solomon - Last week 200 Houthi fighters left Yemen to fight alongside Assad's forces in Syria, according to a report Thursday in Asharq Al-Awsat. A Yemeni official said the Houthis have a relationship with Assad extending back before the current civil war, when they would use Syria as "a way-station through which they traveled to Tehran and south Lebanon for combat training."
