In recent days, a number of reports have been published in Arab media channels, according to which the Houthis are preparing for the possibility of a military operation to liberate Al Hodeidah province from their grip, based on "intelligence" that has come into their hands.

Al Hodeidah is considered a strategic point overlooking the Red Sea, and whoever controls it controls international shipping routes and the entrances to Yemen's seaports.

According to the reports, the Houthis are making "military preparations" in al-Hodeidah in western Yemen, to deal with any possible escalation against them "with the support of Washington". In recent days, the Houthis have sent armed reinforcements to the city of al-Hodeidah, which has been attacked by Israel twice in recent months, and have carried out several military maneuvers as part of the preparations.
