Houthi Militia Launches Unprecedented Abduction Campaign Against Its Own Members Amid Rising Internal Divisions

In recent days, the terrorist Houthi militia has launched a large-scale abduction campaign targeting several of its own field supervisors and leaders. The move has been described as a dangerous turning point in the group’s organizational structure, revealing an unprecedented escalation in internal divisions and conflicts.  

A security source told *Khabar Agency* that the abductions included dozens of supervisors accused of failing to carry out orders. Meanwhile, observers believe the campaign has political and security dimensions aimed at restructuring the Houthi leadership hierarchy and eliminating rival factions within the group.  

According to the source, the abductions were carried out in complete secrecy by the militia’s Preventive Security Apparatus, which has become the most prominent security arm of the group’s leadership in tracking and monitoring its field elements.  

This campaign is the widest of its kind since the Houthi terrorist militia seized control of the capital, Sana'a, in September 2014. It points to growing fractures within the militia’s cohesion due to escalating disputes over influence and resources, particularly amid declining financial capabilities and increasing popular pressure in areas under their control.  

Analysts suggest such measures could signal a redrawing of the power map within the group, potentially leading to waves of defections or internal rebellion—especially as discontent grows among field operatives toward the top leadership.
