  "account": "Yemeni military attaché Yahya Abu Hatim has urged the global community to take decisive action against the Houthi militia. Speaking to Al Hadath TV, Abu Hatim called for measures beyond mere statements, emphasizing the need to designate the Houthis as a terrorist group and provide support to the Yemeni government. He highlighted the ongoing hostile actions by the Houthi militia, who continue to target civilians and government facilities, leading to a realization among Yemenis that they are facing an extremist group. Abu Hatim pointed out that the militia's repeated attacks demonstrate their nature, as they are instructed to use weapons received from Iran against Yemeni citizens whenever they fail to advance Iran's agenda. Consequently, the militia commits grave crimes in the areas under its control.",
