The organized and systematic terrorism that has been aimed at the Yemeni Islah Party had begun since preparations for the coup by the Houthi militia with the cooperation of its ally, former President Ali Saleh, against the legitimate authority. What is remarkable here is that before and after the coup directly, the Houthi militias stormed the headquarters of the Islah Party, looted its contents, detonated some of them and turned some of the rest into headquarters for its elements. This coincided with the pursuit and arrest of the leaders and members of the party, taking some of them as human shields through imprisoning them in the arms' stores and other places that are legitimate targets for the aircraft of the Arab Alliance.

Later, other terrorist groups began targeting the leaders, members, and activists of the Islah Party in several governorates, just like the terrorist Houthi militias do.
