Houthis Arrest US-Israeli ‘Spy Ring’

The Houthis announced, Wednesday, the arrest of a number of spies in Yemen who were working for the Israeli Mossad intelligence agency and the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

The Israelis and Americans are still to comment on this.

The Houthi movement said in a statement on the Al-Masirah satellite TV chanell that that “the security services were able, in the past few days, to arrest a number (unspecified) of spies, who were recruited and recruited by the wanted spy Hamid Hussein Fayed Majli”.

It explained the Mossad and CIA assigned these spies several tasks, the most prominent of which is “monitoring and collecting information about experts, laboratories, platforms, and vehicles for the launching of missiles and drones targeting the Zionist enemy, and the locations and sites of naval forces, camps, and weapons depots”.

The Houthis added that the tasks of these spies also included the “monitoring and collecting of information about the locations of its leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, and “some political, military and security leaders of the state, and social figures opposed to the Israeli and American enemy.”

It pointed out that these spies were asked to provide the coordinates of these places and sites to the spy Hamid Majli “so that he would in turn provide them to the Mossad for the purpose of targeting them by the enemy’s American, Israeli and British aircraft.”

These spies were also tasked, according to the same statement, with “working to try to penetrate, recruit and plant agents and spies in the ranks of the armed forces and security.”

The group indicated that “the enemy’s intelligence wants, through espionage activities, to obstruct the position of the Yemeni people supporting Gaza by targeting its military forces and leaders.”

It warned “of the danger of working for the American and Israeli intelligence services, the penalty for which is execution.”

And “in solidarity with Gaza” by confronting the ongoing Israeli war of genocide on the Strip since 7 October, 2023, which has led to the killing and wounding of more than 153,000 Palestinians, the Houthi group has been targeting Israeli or related cargo ships in the Red Sea with missiles and drones since November of the same year.

In response to these attacks, Washington and London have been launching air strikes and missile attacks on Houthi sites in Yemen since the beginning of this year, which the group responded to by announcing that it now considers all American and British ships among its military targets, and expanding its attacks to ships passing through the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean or any place its weapons can reach.

The Houthi group also launches missile and drone attacks on Israel from time to time, some of which have targeted Tel Aviv, and stipulates that stopping its attacks requires ending the Israeli war of extermination on Gaza according to Anadolu.

Israel Kills Writer, Artist With Her Family

Palestinian writer and artist Walaa Jumaa al-Ifranji, husband Ahmed Saeed Salama and her sister Shatha were killed at dawn, Wednesday in Israeli shelling targeting a house in Nuseirat camp in central Gaza Strip.

Their bodies were taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al Balah amid great sadness from the intellectuals and writers community in the Gaza Strip.

Al-Ifranji began her journey with writing an Arabic novel before moving from writing on paper to itching on stones and wood and chains and rings.

The young novelist was originally from Gaza City and when the war started soon after 7 October, 2023 she and her family were forced to move to the Nuseirat camp.

Before what has become a black day for the people of Gaza, Walaa was working in a shop called “Surprise” that prepares gifts in the upscale, but no more, Al-Rimal neighborhood in the center of Gaza City.

However, like hundreds of thousands of residents of the Gaza Strip, she lost her livelihood due to the consequences of displacement to the areas south of the Gaza Valley as the Israeli army forced the people to keep moving from their destroyed homes.

The Israeli army continues its war on the Strip for the 446th day and which has resulted in the death of 45,338 people and the injury of 107,764 according to the latest statistics published by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.

Poll: 44% of Israelis ‘Pessimistic’ About Israel’s Future

A public opinion poll showed that Israelis are divided between optimists and pessimists about the future of the “state of Israel”, with the remarkable pessimism rate earmarked at 44 percent.

The Israeli Maariv newspaper showed, Wednesday, that: The Israeli people are divided as 50 percent show optimism about Israel’s future while 44 percent said they are pessimistic, and 6 percent said they do not know.

The newspaper stated the poll was carried out by the Lazar Research Institute without clarification regarding the nature of the sample, date in which it was made, and the margin of error.

These results come at a time when Israel is facing unprecedented economic, social, and political crises since its establishment in 1948 on occupied Palestinian lands.

Since 7 October, 2023, Israel has been waging the longest war of extermination in its history on the Gaza Strip, resulting in more than 153,000 Palestinian deaths and injuries, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.

In parallel with economic difficulties and severe societal divisions, pressure has been mounting for more than a year for the government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu to resign due to its failure since 7 October, 2023.
