Yemen rebels get 'unprecedented' outside military support: UN report
United Nations, Nov 02, 2024 -Yemen's Huthi rebels are transforming themselves into a «powerful military organization» due to «unprecedented» military support from outside sources, particularly Iran and Hezbollah, according to a UN report published Friday.
Since the beginning of the war in Gaza last year, the Huthis, who have controlled large swaths of war-torn Yemen for a decade, have «exploited the regional situation and enhanced cooperation with the 'axis of resistance,'» which includes Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah, the UN experts said.
The panel noted «the transformation of the Huthis from a localized armed group with limited capabilities to a powerful military organization, extending their operational capabilities well beyond the territories under their control.»
The report, which analyzed the period from September 2023 through July 2024, said such a transformation was aided by the transfer of military materiel and financial support.
The rebels also benefited from training and technical assistance provided by the Quds Force, the foreign operations arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, as well as Hezbollah and pro-Iran groups in Iraq, the UN experts said.
