Yemen’s Houthis released footage over the weekend of military exercises, including attacking Israeli towns and taking Israelis hostage.

“The Yemeni Armed Forces organized the ‘Battle of the Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad’ wargame,” the military group announced in a statement. Footage from the training exercises shows armed terrorists entering a town with buildings marked by the Star of David.

The footage is reminiscent of the attacks launched by Hamas on October 7, when over 1,200 Israelis were killed.

[The Yemenis are blowing smoke, likely as a face-saving exercise. They have no lines of communication to Gaza and can’t even successfully attack Israel with drones. This is more for domestic consumption after taking a belated beating this week from the US-UK coalition. But it’s still a good reminder that the Iranians want to destroy Israel and chase the West out of the Middle East, by any means possible. — Ed]
