The operation was carried out by American aircraft, which conducted three aerial attacks on Houthi positions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hundreds Killed in the Organization\u2019s Ranks<\/strong><br \/>\nAmerican sources told the Saudi news channel Al Arabiya that since the beginning of the U.S. campaign against the rebels, more than 500 Houthi fighters have been killed.

Houthi assaults on maritime routes near the Gulf of Aden and the Bab al-Mandab Strait compelled the U.S. to initiate a broad campaign against the terrorist group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secret Meeting<\/strong><br \/>\nThis week, the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported that Houthi leaders held a private and confidential meeting in response to the strikes on the organization\u2019s infrastructure. The meeting took place at a secret location out of concern that the site might be targeted. Senior figures discussed the organization\u2019s resilience in the face of the repeated U.S. attacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Distrust Among Leadership<\/strong><br \/>\nThe report also noted that several senior officials were not invited to the meeting due to a lack of trust. Only individuals from Saada\u2014the Houthis\u2019 dominant power base\u2014were included. The exclusion of top figures, including Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Political Council Sadeq Amin Abu Rass, sparked outrage within the Houthi political leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States continues its attacks on the Houthi terrorist organization in Yemen\u2019s capital | According to reports, around 500 members of the group have been killed since the strikes began.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":20366,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,6,65],"tags":[3244,1531,3670,3885,4207,4375,2515,4512,2396,1532],"class_list":["post-20364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-security","category-world","tag-airstrikes","tag-houthis","tag-iranian-proxies","tag-middle-east-security","tag-red-sea","tag-regional-stability","tag-terrorism","tag-u-s-navy","tag-united-states","tag-yemen"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) -
