Preliminary
On October 16, the Houthis declared Chief of General Staff Gamari diedThe removal of the "person number two" shocked the outside world.
Israel's precision air strike a few months ago not only destroyed the value of the country's territory 13.8 billion dollarsThe port facilities, more to Houthi. Missile launches dropped sharply from 5 per month to zero。
Why did it take Gamari months to announce his death? Israeli Remote cleaningHow accurate is it?
The world’s most sought-after “number two person” has never escaped the liquidation of Israel.
speaking of this GamariBut within the Houthi armed forces in Yemen, this man weighs a lot, after the Houthi leader himself. The number two person.。
As early as 2015, he began to serve as chief of general staff of the Houthi armed forces, and was directly promoted to commander-in-chief in 2021, becoming a veritable leader of this organization. Military brain。His power extends not only within the military, but also to Iran's military aid system。
Many of Houthi’s missiles and drone technology have been delivered through his communication channels with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. UN Security Council reaches rare agreement, the five permanent members of China, the United States, Russia, Britain and France jointly passed a resolution to impose sanctions on Gamali.
What does it mean to allow these big countries that are usually quarreling to sit together and name and sanction the same person? The U.S. Treasury subsequently froze his overseas assets and the European Union also placed him on the sanctions list, saying he "Directly hindering the implementation of the 2011 transitional power agreement in Yemen"。
From the United Nations to the European Union, from Washington to Moscow, all major powers are on the same list “Holding the hand.”This is quite rare in international politics, and it is precisely because of this "all-round focus" that has made Camari's authority within the Houthis stronger, or even slightly more. "Apotheosis"of the tendency.
But it’s also a double-edged sword. The more important Jamal is, the deeper the Houthi’s dependence on him, and once this hub is broken, the entire army’s scheduling, intelligence, and arms delivery chain will be impacted. targeted killingsIt has become the most effective way to attack.
On the other hand, what did this Yemeni general do?
To understand the backdrop of the global sanctions imposed on Gamali, we must first say that he is inside the Houthis. Special StatusThis man was not just a war general, but more like a Houthi armed one. The outside window.。
After the political turmoil in Yemen in 2011, the international community has been working hard to promote the peace process, hoping that all parties will sit down and negotiate a solution to the issue. But Gamari is the kind of person “Better to stand dead than to live on your knees.”The hard guy.
He not only refused to participate in peace negotiations, but also actively hindered other factions' reconciliation efforts to maintain control of the Houthis by means of force. Important link。
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s military support to the Houthis, including missile technology, drone manufacturing, and tactical training, was mostly through him. "Wings.", giving this organization, which could only operate in Yemen, the ability to threaten Red Sea shipping and attack Israel.
Since October 2023, the Houthi armed forces have launched on the Red Sea merchant vessels. More than 190 attacks.They sunk two ships, hijacked one, and killed at least four crew members. Commander figure。
He was also responsible for the Houthi battle plan for launching missiles and drones into Israel, with every attack carefully planned by him. It can be said that Gamari belongs to the Houthi armed forces “The Soul”It is also a “problem maker” in the eyes of the international community.
It was because of his presence that the Houthis turned from a place of arms to a place that could affect global shipping and threaten regional stability. important force。
So when the UN Security Council discussed the list of sanctions, Camry was unwavering. of the arrows.。China, the United States and Russia, these big countries that are usually incompatible with each other, have actually dealt with Gamali high degree of consistency。
$1.3 billion hit the watershed, Houthi from "Lunar Five Shots" to completely mute fire
Israel’s action is not easy. “Please ask the way.”According to public information, this was a carefully planned event. Systematic attack。
The airstrike on August 28, 2025, Israel shot down several important targets of the Houthi armed forces, including the so-called "prime minister", several "ministers", and military facilities. Died。
According to data from the International Shipping Association, the Huthi armed forces hijacked merchant ships in the Red Sea in the third quarter. Halved year-on-year。More critically, the frequency of Houthi firing missiles at Israel has increased from 2023. Average 5 times a month., almost returning to zero after October 2025.
This huge change in behavior shows that Gamari's death did cause the Houthi armed forces The fatal shock.But the losses are not just people.The Red Sea Port Authority, controlled by the Houthi armed forces, statistics showed that three ports in Hodeida, Salih and Isha were hit by U.S. airstrikes, the losses exceeded. 13.8 billion dollars。
Among them, the damage to the port of Hodeida was about US$313 million, and the damage to the first attack on Sana'a airport was about US$313 million. 500 millionThese numbers are simply astronomical for the poor Yemen, and more importantly, this accurate strike show shows Technical advantagesThe Houthi armed forces felt unprecedented pressure.
Israel relies on satellites, drones, and ground-based intelligence chains that even capture Houthi high-level meetings. Specific times and list of attendantsThis level of strike precision is completely different from the former Saudi coalition’s “large-range scanning.”
Israel's actions were "quick, accurate and ruthless", with no unnecessary actions and no "accidental injuries to civilians" public relations disaster。For the Houthis, it's like hanging overhead The Damocles Sword.It can fall at any time.
Precision cleaning 2,000 kilometers away, small nations can also make superpowers headache
Gamari's death marked the beginning of modern warfare The new phaseThis is not the traditional sense of large army pressure, tank bombardment, but reliance. Accurate informationAnd "contactless warfare" with long-range strike capability.
The success of this Israeli operation has given the world a vivid touch. War lessonsIsrael, more than 2,000 kilometers away from Yemen, has the ability to precisely lock targets and carry out clearances that were unimaginable in the Cold War era.
Now the war is not more than whose aircraft, more than whose tanks, but more than whose. More accurate intelligenceFor geo-isolated and resource-limited countries such as Israel, this “no-war” is simply the case. Textbook leveloperation.
There is no need to send troops to the ground or station troops for a long time. Just relying on intelligence and long-range weapons can paralyze the other party's top management. The "low-cost consumption strategy" of the Houthi armed forces has also caused problems for superpowers like the United States The real trouble.。
With less than 0.05% of the world's military spending, the hard life consumes billions of dollars in arms. Reversal of cost-benefitAnalysis by experts at the Washington Yemeni Research Center suggests that the Houthi armed forces will not surrender to U.S. attacks and are more likely to escalate retaliation.
This forms an interesting The game pattern.: Small countries have gained unprecedented deterrence through precision strike capabilities, while superpowers have become bound when faced with asymmetric opponents. Gamari's death may be just a result of this new mode of war. Started。
In the future, we may see more military operations relying on technical accuracy rather than scale advantage.This change will not only affect regional security patterns, but more likely redefine them. Rules of the game in international relationsWhen technological accuracy is high enough, small nations can also form effective deterrence against the big powers, which may be the modern war gives us. The greatest revelation.。
conclusion
Kamari’s death was not just the disappearance of one person, but Era of precision strikeIt tells us that the core of modern deterrence is no longer scale but precision.
Technology is redefining war. The game rules.Through the mastery of key technologies, small countries can also possess with the big powers on the international stage. The equal game.The capacity .
What does this change reveal to us?In an age of technology that determines everything, Capacity of InnovationMay be more important than traditional strength. What do you think?
