Houthi

The Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, is an Islamist rebel movement fighting in the Yemen Civil War.

They are primarily made up of Shia Muslims and their name comes from their leadership being primarily from the Houthi tribe.

Widely believed to be an Iran-backed proxy group, the Houthis are also known for their antisemitic views. Their slogan is "God is the Greatest. Death to America. Death to Israel. A Curse Upon the Jews. Victory to Islam."
