Yemeni political writer Hazza Al-Bail said that the actions of the Houthi militia are rooted in extremist beliefs passed down through generations.

Speaking in an interview with Al-Ekhbariya TV, he added that these practices—including abuse of opponents, mutilation of bodies, destruction of homes, and violation of sanctities—are not new. He noted that the group also seizes the wealth, property, and honor of its rivals.

Al-Bail pointed out that the militia's misguided ideology is sufficient for it to be considered the largest terrorist organization in the world.
