(Times of Israel) Yemen's Houthis have in recent months carried out a series of training exercises to prepare for a potential invasion of Israel. Israel's Channel 11 aired footage of Houthi forces in a live fire exercise training to conquer the city of Dimona in Israel. Armed men were seen running house to house in a large mockup of an urban area. A Yemeni journalist noted that the drills are also aimed at preparing for any direct confrontation with the U.S., UK, or UAE. Houthi leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi says the Houthi army can muster 350,000 fighters. Al-Houthi said a request had been made to the countries between Yemen and Israel that they "open land passages for the movement of hundreds of thousands of my people in order to carry out jihad in Palestine."
