Sanaa, subject to the Houthi, witnessed a security alert and a publication of armored vehicles on its main entrances, in conjunction with extensive moves of the militia elements in the streets.

This comes amid expectations of an internal rebellion, coinciding with the Houthis withdrawing fighters to the Hodeidah front. In addition to the tension, the bodies of two young artists were found amid charges of liquidating them, and a campaign of arrests of civilians on charges of photographing sites believed to be targeted by American raids.

These events refer to the escalation of internal tension and disputes among the group.
