I really doubt that this is true, but if it is, these Houtis are one heartbeat of away of seeing 72 Virgins.

I thought that EGypt anticipated this and have their navy there.

Yemen’s Houthis enter base on Bab el-Mandeb strait: officials

Fighters from Yemen’s Houthi militia on Tuesday entered a coastal military base overlooking the Red Sea’s strategic Bab el-Mandeb strait, local officials told Reuters.

Soldiers of the 17th Armored Division in the Dabab district in Yemen’s southwestern Taiz province opened the gates to the Houthis, whose military advance has been challenged by six days of Saudi-led air strikes.

What this article doesn’t mention is that Israel has a naval port at Eilat in the Gulf of Aqaba (which pours into the Red Sea). Bibi isn’t going to take kindly to being hemmed in by a bunch of raving Houtis.
