Houthis train 20,000 fighters to be sent to Gaza VIDEO

About 20,000 Houthis have been prepared to take part in the conflict and sent to the Gaza Strip. Volunteers have declared their readiness to go into battle, but the problem is that such an armed formation has no chance of reaching the Gaza Strip.

According to Saba news agency, a popular militia parade was organized in Hajjah province in northwestern Yemen to mark the end of military courses for the first graduation of 20,000 reservist fighters for the mobilization force.

The fighters were trained by the ruling Ansar Allah (Houthis) movement in northern Yemen, and during the military parade, they chanted slogans in support of the oppressed Palestinian people.

The agency noted that the graduates expressed their willingness to fight alongside the Yemeni armed forces against Israel and the U.S. coalition.

20,000 fighters could be a serious help for Hamas militants if they had the opportunity to reach the Gaza Strip. But there is no such possibility, and Ansar Allah politburo member Husam al-Asad has previously noted that the movement is training reservist fighters to take part in military operations on the side of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, should they have the opportunity to get there.

To begin with, the armed fighters need to leave Yemen, and for this purpose, the Houthis have appealed to the Saudi leadership with a proposal to let them pass through the kingdom, but even if they were given such permission, the Gaza Strip can be reached today only through an underground passage from Egypt, and it would not be possible to send tens of thousands of fighters without informing the Egyptian authorities.

It is much more realistic, in case they receive permission from Saudi Arabia, to go through Iraq to Syria and then to Lebanon to join Hezbollah and from there try to help the Palestinians.
