[GEO.TV] Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
's Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. 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 God is Great, Death to Americaâ„¢, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
rebels on Monday gave an updated toll of 10 killed and more than 90 maimed in Israeli strikes on the capital Sanaa the day before.

The Houthis had earlier said six were killed and 86 maimed in Sunday's strikes, which they said targeted a petrol station and a power plant in the rebel-held capital.

The Houthis' health ministry front man, Anees Alasbahi, said on X Monday that there were "ten dead and 92 maimed in the Zionist aggression".

The Israeli military said it had hit a military compound where the presidential palace is located, along with two power stations and a fuel depot.
