The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is

Strip following the collapse of a ceasefire there, the Houthis in Yemen have launched 68 ballistic missiles and at least 18 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.
Tuesday’s attack was the first such incident since the Houthis on Sunday attempted a drone attack on Israel.
In a statement on Sunday, the Houthis claimed to have launched three drones at Israel, targeting "Zionist enemy military targets" in Tel Aviv, Ashkelon and Haifa.
According to the IDF, only one drone reached Israel, and it was shot down by the Air Force over the Egyptian border, near the community of Bnei Netzarim, where sirens had sounded.
The other two drones likely fell short before reaching the country.
On Friday, the Houthis fired a ballistic missile at Israel, which the IDF said was also intercepted successfully.
