The fate of Abdel Malek Al-Houthi remains shrouded in mystery: The latest circulating speculations

Amid discussions about the death of many first-tier leaders of the Houthi terrorist militia in recent U.S. airstrikes, the fate of the gang leader, Abdel Malek Al-Houthi, remains unclear.

According to what was reported by the site (Al-Montassaf Net) from informed sources, the confusion, disarray, and repeated claims made by the Iranian-backed militia have fueled many speculations regarding Abdel Malek Al-Houthi’s fate, especially as he has been absent from the scene for several days.

The sources pointed out that the death of Abdel Khaleq Al-Houthi, Abdel Malek’s brother and his right-hand man, as well as the deaths of prominent leaders from the top three tiers, have intensified these speculations, with the possibility of the leader’s death or a serious injury during one of the airstrikes targeting secret meetings of the militia leaders in Sanaa, Saada, and Hodeida.

According to the sources, Abdel Malek Al-Houthi, who has not appeared for some time after recording future statements, confirms that the man has either been killed, wounded, and left the country for Iran or Iraq, leaving his militia members to face their inevitable fate.

The Houthi militia continues to impose strict secrecy regarding the extent of its human losses among its leaders and the damage to its military arsenal, which also contributes to speculations about the fate of its leader.

According to the sources, discussions are circulating in Houthi-controlled areas about the fate of Abdel Malek Al-Houthi and other leaders, such as his Defense Minister “Mohammed Al-Atefi,” the strongman of the Iran-aligned militias “Abdullah Al-Hakim,” known as “Abu Ali Al-Hakim,” “Youssef Al-Madani,” the commander of the Fifth Military Zone, and other leaders who have disappeared from the scene for days.

In this context, Houthi leader impersonating General “Fares Mujahid Al-Hubari” posted on his account on the (X) platform the day before yesterday that he was unable to contact any of the Houthi leaders, even at the level of governors, noting that there was no communication with leaders at all levels.

These speculations have increased due to the Houthi militia’s campaigns of arrests among its members and leaders, including the Deputy Director of the Security and Intelligence Agency, Abdel Qader Al-Shami, as well as dozens of arrests in Sanaa, Hodeida, Saada, Dhamar, and Hajjah, under the pretext of leaking intelligence information and providing the U.S. forces with accurate coordinates about the movements of leaders and weapons storage sites.
