Original Note:
The Houthis, who have been targeting ships in the region, are not the Yemeni army & are considered 'rebels'. Indeed, there have been clashes between Houthis and the national army. Houthis are thought to be funded by Iran, though they deny that they are proxies. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/who-are-yemens-houthis-why-did-they-attack-israel-2023-11-01/ https://apnews.com/article/yemen-attacks-iran-ships-retaliation-15d10ed74c7f3cc7fd36fa0f77f73e54
