The Houthi militia continues to exploit civilian facilities to hide their military arsenal

The Houthi terrorist militia, backed by Iran, continues to implement its war plans by exploiting the civil facilities to hide its weapons, based on the cloned tactics of the methods of the "Iranian Revolutionary Guard", according to military experts.
Since its coup and its seizure of the warehouses of the Yemeni Ministry of Defense, the group - according to military analyzes - has dismantled the huge military arsenal and turned it into small warehouses that are carefully distributed, in an attempt to avoid air strikes and confuse monitoring and targeting efforts.
Experts affirm that the Houthis depend on a studied camouflage strategy based on storing weapons within residential neighborhoods and near schools and hospitals, which makes targeting them fraught with risks that threaten the lives of civilians, in a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. The group also resorted to exploiting mosques and religious establishments to hide the equipment, perceived to target these sites and the local and international condemnation that may raise it.
Experts indicated that the militia creates underground tunnels to hide weapons, with its entrances to facades that appear as food farms or stores, which makes it difficult to discover through traditional air monitoring means. The militia also relies on the decentralized deployment pattern, by distributing it to small separate sites to reduce the size of the losses in the event of targeting one of the stores.
According to military reports, the Houthi militia is constantly transporting weapons using small trucks and civilian vehicles, taking advantage of rugged mountainous terrain to hide their movements from the eyes of air control. The group also uses ambulances and food transport trucks and livestock, and sometimes raising the slogans of relief organizations on their vehicles with the aim of camouflage, in a violation of international laws and humanitarian covenants.
Experts believe that this strategy not only highlights the group's rebellious nature, but also reveals its insult to the lives of civilians by using them as human shields to protect its arsenal from air strikes and military targets.
