The social media platform X has suspended the account of Yahya Saree, the senior spokesman for the Houthi terrorist organization, due to violations of the platform's terms of use. According to X, Saree's account was suspended for inciting violence, targeting civilians and infrastructure, and spreading misleading content. This suspension comes amid escalating clashes between Saudi Arabia, the Yemeni government, and the Houthi group, which have intensified in recent weeks after a relatively calm period.

The renewed hostilities have resulted in dozens of casualties on both sides and significant damage to energy and other critical infrastructure. Yahya Saree has become a well-known figure, especially among Israelis, as the Houthis have launched ballistic missile attacks toward Israel during the conflict. Saree has repeatedly threatened Israel and shared videos simulating military exercises depicting the group's invasion and occupation of Israeli cities.

During the ongoing war, Israel has conducted multiple strikes against Houthi targets, focusing on the capital Sanaa and the port city of Hodeidah. The suspension of Saree's account on X reflects the platform's enforcement of policies against content promoting violence and misinformation amid the volatile regional conflict.
