The terrorist Houthi militia, backed by Iran, has resorted to activating the law of compulsory conscription on school students and graduates, in its areas of control, to compensate for its human losses on the fronts.

The Houthi leader, Ali Nasser Al-Sharif, said on Twitter, "I propose to issue a law providing military service beyond the ninth grade is basic. It will be for a period of two years, all young people will be attached to the fronts to defend the homeland."

The Houthi leader added: "I was surprised that we had 191,000 students in schools. Those were assumed to be on the frontlines, not in schools."

The militia leaders’ calls for recruitment coincide with their continued escalation and the flare-up of the fronts, especially in Marib and Al-Jawf, and expanded to Shabwa, to compensate for the numerical shortage of its fighters due to the losses they incurred in the battles with the army and tribesmen, and the air strikes of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy, which incurred dozens of militias on a daily basis on various fronts.
