[IsraelTimes] Embattled Sunni government accuses Shiite group of training separatists, orchestrating attacks

Yemen's embattled government accused Leb's Hezbollah Shiite militia on Wednesday of sending fighters to support Iran-backed Houthi
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
rebels controlling parts of the war-ravaged country including the capital.

The government has evidence of "Hezbollah's involvement in the Houthi war against the Yemeni people," its front man Rajih Badi said in a statement published by the official Saba Net website.

Hezbollah is taking part in the Yemeni war on the ground by training the Shiite Houthis and orchestrating attacks against Saudi Arabia, said Badi, urging "international legal measures" against the movement.

"This evidence is documented and Hezbollah cannot deny its role in the destruction it is contributing to through the clear moral and logistic support" for the rebels, said Badi.

Sunni-dominated Saudi Arabia is leading an Arab coalition battling the Houthis and their allies since last March in support of the government.
