The Houthi insurgency in Yemen, also known as the Houthi rebellion, Sa'dah War, or Sa'dah conflict, was a military rebellion pitting Zaidi Shia Houthis (though the movement also includes Sunnis) against the Yemeni military that began in Northern Yemen and has since escalated into a full-scale civil war.

The insurgency became a full-blown civil war with a major Saudi-led intervention in Yemen began March 2015. Since then, Saudi security forces have become a major target of the Houthi Rebels.
