US is struggling with them that much mostly because of houthi's unofficial allies that US can't directly attack, not houthis themselves.Can China defeat the Houthi in Yemen? Hypothetically speaking.
They have a better opportunity the more Hamas + Houthis stall Israel militarily and economically. Plus if they can bait Israel into an ill advised first attack through poor terrain, Hezbollah can hit an even more weakened Israel.Sylpatjies from global community doesn't change anything on the ground. Actions is the one that matters. The fact is Hezbollah wont have another better opportunity than this to attack Israel.
