Abstract

This research examines the maritime strategy of the Houthis in the Red Sea during 2023-2024, focusing on how their actions challenge the established regional power structures linked to Israeli influence. The study applies a critical theoretical framework to explore the intersection of material power, ideological narratives, and institutional developments that shape the Houthis' approach. Using a qualitative, descriptive-analytical method, the research analyzes secondary data from academic articles, official reports, and media sources to trace the evolution of the Houthis' maritime operations and their impact on regional security and global trade. Findings reveal that the Houthis employ asymmetric tactics—such as missile strikes, drone attacks, and naval interdictions—to disrupt maritime traffic and assert counter-hegemonic resistance. Their campaign demonstrates a sophisticated blend of military innovation and ideological solidarity with Palestinian causes, significantly affecting shipping routes, regional stability, and international responses. The study concludes that the Houthis represent a complex non-state actor capable of challenging dominant regional hegemony through military means and ideological contestation, thereby reshaping security dynamics in a vital global maritime corridor.
