Informed sources revealed the reason behind the Houthis rushing to develop tunnels and secret roads inside the capital, Sanaa, Hodeidah, and some other areas surrounding the capital.

The sources said that the Houthis have mounting concerns about being exposed to an unprecedented military escalation by the army forces with regional and international support, and that there are undeclared preparations to launch a broad, multi-pronged military operation aimed at regaining control over strategic areas of influence for the Houthis, such as Hodeidah and the capital, Sanaa.

The sources indicated that the leader of the Houthi group had previously issued directives via closed-circuit television technology during a secret meeting of prominent military leaders in the militia to raise the level of alert and prepare to face major and fateful challenges during the coming period.

Noting that these directives coincided with the approaching agreement to stop the war in Gaza and the escalation of American and Israeli threats to target the leaders of the first ranks of the group.
