Yemen is one of the most dangerous nations in the world for believers right now and things just became worse.
Israel successfully carried out an attack last week that killed the Houthi-rebel Prime Minister, Mahdi al-Mashat. Several other Houthi ministers were also killed in the attack.
In response, the Houthi fighters have attacked humanitarian aid buildings and raided the offices of the World Food Program and the United Nations children’s agency (UNICEF) and have taken hostages.
Hans Grundberg, the United Nations special envoy for Yemen, later confirmed that at least 11 personnel were detained, adding that he “strongly” condemns the abductions.
The Houthis are an Iran-backed rebel group fighting to take control of Yemen, but are largely powerless to take their anger out on Israel, so they have done what most Islamic terrorist groups do – taken their anger out on unarmed soft targets instead.
According to Open Doors, Yemen ranks as the third-most dangerous place in the world to follow Jesus, but this year, we might see it sky-rocket to number 1.
