Bahrain

Border countries: Island

Bahrain is a member of the Saudi-led coalition that intervenes on the side of the Yemeni government in the non-international armed conflict against the Houthis.

Bahrain is a member of the Saudi-led coalition that launched airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen in March 2015 and deployed ground troops to Yemen as part of a Saudi-led offensive in Autumn 2015.   Accordingly, Bahrain is a party to the non-international armed conflicts in Yemen.

At the outset of the US-led airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Syria, Bahrain reportedly participated in the airstrikes. However, they no longer seem to be involved in military action against the Islamic State group in Syria.
