Houthis preparing Oct. 7-style raid on Israel from neighboring countries, officials say

1. Israeli intelligence says the Houthis in Yemen are training thousands of terrorists for an October 7 style mass infiltration into Israel, possibly from Jordan or Syria.

   The Iran-backed group is also boosting independent production of missiles and drones, making them harder to stop.

   Israel recently struck major Houthi targets in Yemen but warns the group could become an existential threat if weapons production continues.

2. “Tens of thousands” of new soldiers just conveniently popped up huh

3. What kind of intelligence is this? Like Egypt or Syria under the current Sunni regime, the current govt in Lebanon that doesnt want any new problems and working on a plan to disarm Hezbollah (disarming the palestinan refugee camps is the test run), and Heshimite sunni Jordan are gonna all allow some zaidi Shiites called Ansar Allah (the Houthis) to risk their nations survival, sovereignty and somewhat stability (stability depends on country to country) to help the pro- Iranian , zaidi shia Houthis?

   I highly doubt it, the king of Jordan already in a vulnerable balancing act and increasingly dependening on hardcore supporters of the heshimites among ethnic jordanians, the Bedouin tribes to hold onto power, Al-Sisi despite a recent pivot towards Iran, Turkey , China and Qatar , would still not alienate the Gulf States financing and aid packages (as well as American, and western bailouts), to risk helping the houthis, Lebanon? Not even a weakened and humiliated Hezbollah would not risk the internal poltical and sectarian tensions in Lebanon, and risk losing even more popular support or risk full on invasion from Israel to allow the he Houthis to risk Lebanese sovereignty and their destruction, etc.

   Seems like awful intelligence.

4. Possible but highly unlikely, since I don’t think Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia would want Pro-Iran shia militants in their territories, and Lebanon would be at risk from an Israeli invasion and Hezbollah being more militarily competent and larger failed to protect Lebanon and drive the Israelis out, with Nasrallah and most of senior leadership eliminated.

   If they would allow it, it might be unpopular among the populace since I don’t think many Sunnis aren’t that fond of foreign Shias especially armed ones in their neighborhoods and could risk invasion from Israel.

   No matter how much the Sunni Arab leadership curse Israel they secretly watch in glee as Israel weakens the “Axis of Resistance” and Iran.
