Israel has lost its advantage on the battlefield, and the Houthis are mobilizing thousands of young warriors to Gaza to support Hamas. This news is worth paying attention to. According to the Russian news agency Sputnik, the Houthis have carried out a general mobilization in Yemen with the aim of recruiting and training new fighters to support the Palestinian people in their fight against Israel. In addition, it is reported that several groups of young people in Yemen have graduated from military training schools and are ready to go to Gaza, and tens of thousands of young strong men are ready to support. The Houthi support for Palestine is obvious, but it is worth noting that Yemen and Gaza are quite far apart, about 1,600 kilometers. The Houthis' actions are trans-regional operations. If they successfully enter Gaza and fight alongside Hamas against Israel, then the anti-Israeli coalition consisting of the Houthis and Hamas is about to enter the strategic stage. There are two key points to be made in this news. First of all, there is a saying that "war reports deceive people, but the battle front does not".
According to Xinhua news agency, Israel's "Golani Brigade" has suffered heavy losses in the ground battle in Gaza, and their main force has been withdrawn from Gaza and returned to Israel to recuperate. A number of ** have filmed the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, and even Israeli soldiers cheered for the successful evacuation and sang songs there to celebrate, this scene was also widely reported. It should be noted that the "Golani Brigade" is the elite unit of the Israel Defense Forces, and such a powerful force has been so badly hit in Gaza that it was forced to withdraw and recuperate, which is enough to prove that the Israeli army is currently at a disadvantage on the battlefield. And Hamas, while not arguably stronger than the Israeli army, is at least not inferior when it comes to the Israeli army. In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, if Hamas is strong enough to withstand the Israeli army's offensive, it will have a huge impact on Israel once tens of thousands of Houthis arrive at the scene of the conflict.
Given that Hamas is already making Israel intractable, and with the involvement of the Houthis, Israel's odds are all the more elusive. And at the moment, it seems that the Houthis may be more powerful than many people think, because they want to deal not only with Israel, but also with the United States. Recently, the leaders of the Houthis said in a speech that if the United States tries to further escalate the situation in the Middle East or take hostile actions against them, they will unceremoniously target US targets in the Middle East, interests and merchant shipping lanes, saying that they have drones and missiles ready. In addition, the Houthis have said they prefer to be direct enemies of the United States and Israel. Such statements give the impression that not only are they not afraid of US actions, but they are expecting US provocations in order to justify a real war with the United States and Israel. As a result, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is already very tense, and it may be difficult to rely solely on international condemnation of Israel.
If the Houthi involvement can quickly push for a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian, this may not be a bad thing.
