IDF surprised by Houthis not joining Iran war, believes they still could, sources say

IDF sources on Thursday expressed surprise that Yemen's Houthis have not yet attacked Israel as part of the wider regional conflict.
It was expected by many in the IDF that the Houthis would join in the attack once Iran's former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was assassinated, or if not then, then once Hezbollah joined on Monday.

There has been speculation in the defense establishment that the Houthis are staying out of the conflict since this time the US is involved.
