Rights Network Condemns Houthi Militia's Burning of Farms in Dhala'
The Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms has strongly condemned the Houthi militia's burning of farms belonging to citizens in the Mures area north of Dhala'. The network held the Houthi militia fully responsible for this heinous crime and the resulting human and material damages.
The network called on international and UN bodies to take immediate action and exert real pressure to stop the crimes against civilians, activate accountability mechanisms, and ensure impunity from punishment.
The network said that targeting and burning farms is classified as a war crime under international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions, and constitutes a serious violation of the right to property and decent living.

Yemen :Houthis vow to strike US ships if America joins Israel's war on Iran
Yemen's Houthi rebels vowed on Saturday to resume attacks on US ships if American forces join Israel's war on Iran. "In the event that the Americans are involved in the attack and aggression against Iran alongside the Israeli enemy, the armed forces will target their ships and warships in the Red Sea," the Houthis said in a statement. Last week, Yemeni security sources told The National that the rebels are considering resuming strikes on US targets in the Middle East and intensifying attacks on Israel in support of Iran. US President Donald Trump said last month the Iran-backed Houthis 'capitulated' and that America would stop strikes on the rebels after they agreed to cease attacking ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis are part of the so-called Axis of Resistance, an Iran-led network that includes Hamas in Palestine, Hezbollah in Lebanon and armed groups in Iraq, whose aim is to deter Israel from conducting military action and countering its influence in the region. Many of the groups have fought against Iran's enemies in their respective countries. The groups launched attacks on Israel as part of a support campaign for Hamas and the Palestinian people after the Gaza war broke out on October 7, 2023. But months of fighting with Israel, which holds clear military dominance, have eroded the operational capacity of the axis considerably. Hezbollah was once considered Iran's first line of defence against Israeli attacks, but strikes against the group last year killed its political and military leaders and largely destroyed its arsenal. Lebanese officials have urged Hezbollah not to respond to Israeli attacks on Iran. In Iraq, sources close to the government told The National this week that some of the most prominent militant groups have made it known that any US military intervention would trigger a response.2222222aq

Yemen : US Treasury Targets Houthis with Sanctions
The US on Friday said it has taken its single largest sanctions action to date against Yemen's Houthi militias, a key Iranian ally, by imposing sanctions on four people, 12 entities, and two ships that Washington alleges import oil and other goods for the group. Treasury's Deputy Secretary Michael Faulkender said Friday's action 'underscores our commitment to disrupting the Houthis' financial and shipping pipelines that enable their reckless behavior in the Red Sea and the surrounding region.' The Houthis have launched missile and drone attacks against commercial and military ships in the Red Sea corridor as an effort to end Israel's offensive in Gaza. They have also targeted Israel with long-range missiles. Also on Friday, the Trump administration issued fresh Iran-related sanctions, including on two entities based in Hong Kong, and counterterrorism-related sanctions, according to a notice posted to the Treasury Department's website. The sanctions target at least 20 entities, five individuals and three vessels, according to Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control.
