 ...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 legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. 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 They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements.

The US military began an expanded campaign targeting the terrorist group in Somalia shortly after US President Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...

Last weekend, the US military carried out an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
Saturday in Somalia, killing several ISIS operatives, US Africa Command (AFRICOM) said.
AFRICOM Commander Gen. Michael Langley said that the US was hitting al-Shabaab "hard."
"The president and secretary of defense have given me expanded authorities," Langley told politicians at a Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) hearing. "I now have the capability to hit them hard," he said.
The Trump administration has delegated authorities from the president through the secretary of defense down to the operational commander for quicker decision-making. This is in contrast to the Biden administration, which required White House approval before strikes.
In the US campaign to deter Yemen’s Houthis, Joint Staff Director for Operations Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich previously said this "allows us to achieve a tempo of operations where we can react to opportunities that we see on the battlefield in order to continue to put pressure on the Houthis."
