Houthi Attacks on Saudi Civilian Areas Fuel Yemen Conflict, Expert Says

International relations expert Dr. Hossam al-Baqei has warned that continued Houthi attacks on civilian areas in Saudi Arabia are inflaming the conflict in Yemen.

Al-Baqei said the targeting clearly indicated a desire by the Ansar Allah movement, commonly known as the Houthis, to intensify the conflict.

His assessment linked the group’s actions against civilian areas inside the kingdom to the course of the fighting in Yemen, describing them as a source of further escalation.

The warning focused on the continuation of those attacks, which al-Baqei presented as evidence of the group’s intent to fuel rather than ease the conflict.
