Yemeni Journalist: Houthis Indoctrinate Children to Fight Jews
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
A Yemeni journalist revealed that the Houthi movement is forcibly recruiting and indoctrinating children to fight against Jews and Zionists, using the Israel-Hamas War as a recruitment tool. The journalist, speaking anonymously, stated that the Houthis threaten families to ensure recruitment and exploit an ideology of divine right to govern. While initial anti-Israel sentiment aided indoctrination, many Yemenis are now resentful of the Houthis' actions, which have caused economic hardship and civilian casualties in the name of Gaza.
