The sources said that the Zionist regime has required an air bridge with Khalid bin Abdul Aziz Air Base in Khamis Mushait, Saudi Arabia to support the coalition of Saudi Arabia and the Arab countries to supply arms, ammunition and missiles for aggression to Yemen.
But why Israeli inter them into war against Yemen by helping Saudi Arabia, has two reason. One Saudi coalition against Yemen’s Houthi Movement has no effect yet and also in the ground battle field Saudi backed forces has experienced many defeats.
But the more important cause and second one, is Bab-el-Mandeb important strategic Strait. The Bab-el-Mandeb or Mandeb Strait is a strait located between Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula, and Djibouti and Eritrea in the Horn of Africa. It connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden.
Influence on this Strait is very important for Zionist regime. Israel giving green light to Saudis by supplying them to missiles and ammunitions to be confident of strategic influence on Bab-el-Mandeb striate to saving their interests.
This is what former Israeli army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gants said in late September in his speech at the Institute for Near East Policy in Washington, titled "Israel's national security in a changing region,". In this speech, he referred to Israel's various security challenges and stressed that he is concerned about the Bab el-Mandeb and other maritime routes.
It is better to know Zionist regime leased islands in Eritrea and deployed its forces in these islands. these concerns has caused Israeli intervene in several axis of aggression against Yemeni by equipping Saudi troops on the islands of Eritrea and moreover from supplying Saudis by arms and give them military consultations.
It is revealed that An Israeli Air Force Boeing 747 aircraft carrying weapons, missiles and other equipment take off from Assab port in Eritrea landed in Khamis Mushait base in Asir in Saudi Arabia to assist the coalition in the war against Yemen led by Riyadh. This is because Israel assume Bab el-Mandeb as its vital artery.
On the other hand Israel fear influence on Bab el-Mandeb from any party in the war against Yemen, endangers its entity.so Israel in Port of Massawa in Eritrea which is predominant on Red Sea installed weaponries valued one Milion $ including 30 military plan and equipping its Armored Corps by 230 tanks.
We should know that Houthi revolutionary movement and Ansarallah popular committees and its allies have dominant over regions and bases of Bab el-Mandeb.
Lately Popular committee loyal to Ansarallah and Yemen army in battle with Saudis troops and saudi backed Qaeda terrorists which was supported by warplanes and war boats succeed to push them back.
