在2023年10月7日以色列-哈马斯战争爆发后，也门胡塞武装开始袭击经过红海的船只。他们誓言攻击任何与以色列有商业往来的船只，以抗议以色列在加沙的战争，并声援巴勒斯坦人。然而，随着袭击的持续，另一个动机也浮现出来：加强胡塞武装对也门的控制。

After the Israel-Hamas war broke out on October 7, 2023, the Houthis, a Yemeni rebel group, began attacking ships passing through the Red Sea. The Houthis pledged to attack any ship in these waters that does business with Israel, to protest Israel’s war in Gaza and to show solidarity with Palestinians there. But as the attacks have continued, another motive for them has become apparent: strengthening the Houthis’ control of Yemen.
经过九年的内战，胡塞武装如今控制了也门大部分地区，超过70%的也门人口生活在其控制区内。冲突使国家陷入严重的人道主义危机，造成了超过377,000人死亡——包括沙特领导的联军空袭、胡塞武装埋设的地雷和爆炸物、缺乏医疗服务，以及由于海上封锁导致的食物和水的短缺。沙特联军和胡塞武装都被指控对也门人犯下了战争罪。

After nine years of civil war, the Houthis today control a sizable area in Yemen, with over 70 percent of the Yemeni population within the group’s territory. The conflict has devastated the country, creating one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. More than 377,000 Yemenis have been killed — by airstrikes from a Saudi-led coalition; landmines and detonations planted by the Houthis; a lack of medical services; and scarcity of food and water due to a naval blockade. And both the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthis have been accused of committing war crimes against Yemenis.
如今，胡塞武装试图在也门人眼中确立自己的合法领导地位，尽管他们在改善人道主义危机方面做得很少。红海袭击事件在也门人民中似乎得到了广泛支持，可能是为了实现这一目标的手段。
Today, the Houthis are attempting to establish themselves as Yemen’s legitimate leaders in the eyes of Yemenis, though they’ve done little to improve the country’s humanitarian crisis. The Red Sea attacks, which appear to have significant support among the Yemeni people, might be a means to achieve that goal.
