The Houthis' escalation, the footage - and the concern: "Relying on strategic depth"

The Houthis continue to escalate their attacks against Saudi Arabia, while in Riyadh disappointment grows with Trump, who canceled a planned strike against them. Satellite images reveal damage to Aramco fuel storage facilities near Riyadh's airport, and footage of a Kaaba model erected by the Houthis in Yemen stirs controversy on Arab social media.

The Houthis continue to escalate their attacks against Saudi Arabia, and in Riyadh disappointment is growing over President Trump's decision to cancel an American attack planned against them at the last moment. A satellite image from Soar Atlas reveals damage to fuel tanks at the Aramco storage and distribution facility, near King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, following the attack on September 19. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, in which they launched missiles and drones toward "sensitive sites" in the Saudi capital. Saudi commentator Mishari al-Dhaidi warns in his article that the Houthi threat exceeds the threat posed by Saddam Hussein to Gulf security, as the Houthis and militias in Iraq rely on Iranian depth. Meanwhile, footage of a Kaaba model erected by the Houthis in the Dhamar governorate in Yemen stirs controversy on Arab social media, with harsh criticism from Yemeni users who see it as a disregard for religious rituals for propaganda purposes. In the background, there is a dispute over a missile that hit the Fawrah market in Sanaa: one version claims a Houthi missile veered off course, while Houthi sources claim a Saudi attack. There is no independent confirmation of the source of the strike.
