Infighting Erupts Within Houthi Ranks in Yemen's Raymah Province

Infighting Erupts Within Houthi Ranks in Yemen's Raymah Province

Yemen Online2 days ago
Tensions flared in western Yemen as violent clashes broke out between senior leaders and fighters affiliated with the Houthi militia in Raymah Governorate, exposing deepening internal divisions within the militia's ranks.
Local sources reported that the confrontation took place in the district of Al-Jabin, where disputes over financial entitlements, regional control, and authority escalated into armed conflict.
Eyewitnesses described scenes of heavy gunfire and mobilization of reinforcements, with residents forced to shelter indoors amid the turmoil.
The infighting allegedly stemmed from rivalry between two factions—one loyal to a prominent field commander recently reassigned from Sanaa, and another comprised of long-standing local militants.
Disagreements over resource distribution and command influence in Raymah's strategic mountainous areas appear to have reignited old hostilities.
Preliminary reports indicate that several combatants were killed or wounded, though exact numbers remain unclear due to the group's media blackout and suppression of local coverage.

Israel's key airport attacked: Houthi millitants launch missile at Tel Aviv; bombing destroys port's dock again

Israel on Tuesday intercepted a ballistic missile launched by Yemen's Houthi militant group towards Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, the Israeli military confirmed. The interception followed air raid sirens sounding across multiple regions of the country. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for the strike, saying the group had targeted the airport using a 'Palestine 2' hypersonic ballistic missile. Saree had made a similar claim just hours earlier. — IDF (@IDF) Meanwhile, A Houthi security official, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, told AFP that "the bombing destroyed the port's dock, which had been rebuilt following previous strikes." The attempted strike came a day after Israel launched an airstrike on Houthi targets in Yemen's Hodeidah port. The operation was part of Israel's ongoing retaliation against the Iran-backed Houthis, who have been attacking vessels headed to Israeli ports and firing missiles into Israeli territory. The Houthis recently resumed deadly attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, targeting ships they accuse of having links to Israel, to put pressure on Israel to end the Gaza war.
