Houthis have stepped up offensives against government forces and seized strategic Red Sea positions, including Mocha and the Hanish Islands, within nine days. Li Zixin, assistant researcher at the China Institute of International Studies, says the escalation reflects three drivers: since Oct 2023 the Houthis have frequently acted in the Red Sea citing solidarity with Hamas while building missile, drone and cross-sea assault capabilities and coordinating with regional allies to enable multi-front operations; the Yemeni government failed to integrate its forces after a 2022 UN-mediated truce lapsed, leaving units prone to collapse or preemptive withdrawal under multi-pronged attack; and US forces’ heavy engagement with Iran has created a temporary power vacuum the Houthis have exploited.
