The Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has vowed a ruthless campaign against Saudi Arabia, threatening airports, ports, and blockades. The Yemeni rebels have followed through by attacking Saudi-linked tankers in the Red Sea and oil facilities in Jizan and Yanbu. Shipping through the Bab al-Mandab strait has fallen to its lowest level in months. The Houthis aim to wring concessions from the kingdom by disrupting maritime trade. The stand-off marks a dangerous escalation in the long-running conflict between the two sides.
