1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
The Houthi movement made a tremendously bald move (attack) and seized the airport of Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. Thousands of tourists are now stranded, and some are taken hostage. Both sides of Janub Sina have been blocked so no shipping traffic are able to pass. What is more troubling is that the Houthi movement got control of several helicopters, fighters and modern Sam-sites. All in all, the situation is almost spinning out of control, and we need to react in a hurry before they get all their new equipment up and running.
