Houthis launch over 2,200 attacks on Saudi Arabia

News reports reveal a major military escalation by the Iran-backed Houthi militias against Saudi Arabia. Since the start of their operations, they have launched approximately 1,104 ballistic missiles and 1,135 attack and suicide drones, many of which targeted airports and civilian sites. Among these was King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, which has been subjected to around 20 attacks since early October, resulting in 13 deaths and the airport's closure. The Saudi-led coalition also confirmed that the Houthis have obtained advanced technology with the help of regional parties, including missile systems, drones, and explosive-laden boats, and called for an immediate halt to their terrorist activities. On another note, Saudi Arabia accuses Iran of encouraging the Houthis to escalate by providing weapons, training, and support. Additionally, a summit between the European Union and Gulf countries, scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia, has been postponed due to the increasing attacks. The prospects of the United States deploying "Mother of All Bombs" against Iran are rising, should hostilities resume, especially after the destruction of ships and links between regional attacks and the military escalation between Iran and the U.S.
