The Houthi movement, 

also known as Ansar Allah (Supporters of God), is a political and armed organization that emerged from the Yemeni governorate of Saada in the 1990s. The movement is predominantly Zaidi Shia, with leadership largely drawn from the Houthi tribe. 



Recently, there have been significant developments involving the Houthi rebels:


- On November 19, Houthi rebels stormed the Galaxy Leader cargo ship in the Red Sea. 


- There are speculations that Iran may have backed the Houthi rebel group in this operation.


- The rebels hijacked the ship, which they believed was linked to Israel. However, Israeli officials insist that the vessel has no links to the country.


These events indicate an escalation in the conflict and could have significant implications for regional stability. It's important to note that the situation is fluid, and further developments are likely. Please refer to the latest news for the most current information.
