According to an Iranian source, Saudi Arabia is just
preparing to launch an offensive aimed at retaking
the Bab al-Mandeb Strait from the Houthis. [Oct. 2]

The plan involves 100,000 troops backed by Saudi
Arabia, as well as US intelligence and advisers.

The Houthis are allegedly able to deploy 400,000
own soldiers in the combat.
A European comment is reminding us that Riyadh's
Yemen scheme has already failed before on similar
occasions.

In 1960 the Saudis armed royalist tribes against
Egypt. These guys allegedly took money & guns,
dealt with both sides, and kept the weapons.

After 2015, Riyadh paid anti-Houthi separatists
and tribes. They fought Ansar Allah, fought each
other and left while seizing further Saudi assets.

The new offensive is therefore expected to hold
only while cash and target match. When either
slips, it would mean the next failure. [Oct. 2]

The UAE judiciary has started an investigation
into a Flydubai plane incident that was reported
on Sept. 30 and its possible connection to
"terrorist activity or purpose".

The plane, which was carrying 174 passengers,
166 of whom were Israelis, made an emergency
landing at a Saudi airport on Wednesday during
a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The Emirati
company Flydubai reported an argument inside
the cockpit that caused the distress signal
to be triggered, while Israeli passengers and
officials said that the co-pilot attacked the
pilot with an axe and severely hurt him, most
probably in order to down the plane. As the
pilot could open the cockpit door, passengers
were able to overwhelm the alleged terrorist.
