Al Hurra Reports Saudi Attack Options
The article discusses Saudi Arabia's intention to carry out a potential attack on the Houthis in Yemen, focusing on two main options: a limited strike on the Bab al-Mandab Strait, or a broader attack covering multiple fronts across various Yemeni provinces such as Al-Bayda, Ma'rib, Taiz, and al-Jawf. The operations aim to support maritime security and preserve navigation passage through the Red Sea, especially after the Houthis' advances and control of the strait last month. Yemeni forces supported by Saudi Arabia are expected to lead the ground operations, with Saudi aerial support, while Saudi allies are not expected to participate directly. More than 100,000 Yemeni soldiers could potentially be mobilized for the attack, according to plans, given the strategic importance of the strait as an alternative major shipping route in the region. Obstacles to peace negotiations remain due to the Houthis' control of Bab al-Mandab.
