JEDDAH — The differences, conflicts and divisions are increasing in the Houthi ranks.

Sources close to the Iranian-backed rebels said that Houthi Intelligence Chief Abu Ali Al-Hakim has threatened several loyalists that he will refer them for trial if they do not hand over money and weapons.

A source told Okaz that “Al-Rumaimah” family that was living in Sabir area, Taiz province, is one of the families loyal to the Houthi militias. Members of this family attended the meeting. They were humiliated directly by Abu Ali Al-Hakim.

Meanwhile, Houthi militias are suffering big losses in Haradh directorate in Hajja governorate.

A military source in the Fifth Military Zone told Okaz that they have taken three Houthis as captives while several others died in the north of Al-Shiaab and Kars Haan in Haradh directorate.

The source asserted that the Houthis have failed to find any new recruits to boost their ranks at the battlefronts.
