The #Houthis will likely emerge from the #Gaza war as a more confident, ambitious, and aggressive terrorist army, writes Michael Knights in a CTC at West Point study. More on the group's current capabilities, strategic intentions, and more: washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

A masterclass just published CTC Sentinel cover story by Michael Knights on the Houthi war effort against Israel and shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. There is extraordinary granularity here on every aspect of the Houthi threat over the past six months.

Important examination by Kevin Jackson Kévin Jackson of the current threat posed by al-Qaeda Central in the new issue of CTC Sentinel.

Highly illuminating and important CTC Sentinel interview with ICT director COL (Ret.) Miri Eisin on how Israel can learn from the pre-October 7 intelligence failures to better protect its security.

A sobering and essential assessment comparing the military strength of al-Shabaab and Somali government forces by Paul D. Williams in the new issue of CTC Sentinel.

Well worth a read. whatever bit of the conflict studies world you live in.

Super comprehensive assessment from Michael Knights of Houthi military capabilities:

This is what's needed increasingly: comparative assessment of capability vs actual threat. Mil balance is always relative. 'Bad' militaries can be good enough for what they face, but if they're not, we need to know that.

Big thanks to the CTC at West Point crew, esp Paul Cruickshank & Kristina Hummel, for giving Washington Institute and myself the platform again. For rigor, nothign beats CTC at West Point Senitnel as a platform for CT research.

Delighted to see this CTC at West Point Sentinel interview with ICT Director COL (ret.) Miri Eisin. Miri and I co-teach the 'Intro to Security Studies and Counter-Terrorism' course for all 1st year students in Government Lauder School of Government at Reichman University אוניברסיטת רייכמן Reichman University
