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.
