It’s easy: Houthi terrorists are backed by Iranian terrorists and Muscovy terrorists, and all they want is more chaos in the world. That’s what terrorists do.
The motivation is to disrupt the global economy by targeting the international communications infrastructure. They attacked communications during their civil war, so it’s SOP.
You’ll mostly find internet disruptions within countries themselves. For instance, Pakistan has shut down most of their internet for some time now due to their election results. The internet is used as an organization tool for protests. This resulted in the Arab Spring, among other world events.

They generally use fiber for cables like this due to the bandwidth requirements.
There’s a sizable amount of copper too, to power the repeaters
