Officially known as Ansar Allah (supporters of God) the Houthis are a political and military movement that emerged in the 1990s but rose to international prominence in 2014 when they took control of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
After months of fighting with the Yemeni government and other forces, a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia with support from the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates, among others, intervened militarily against the Houthis.
But the group is still in control of Sanaa and, if anything, has grown stronger over the past decade.
Since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza, the Houthis have been attacking Israel-linked ships heading through the Red Sea, and launching direct missile and drone attacks on Israel to pressure it, to end its war on the besieged enclave.
Trump administration hopes its new campaign of airstrikes will succeed where previous campaigns failed.
