Has Mossad Penetrated the Houthis’ Operations Room?
A series of high-precision intelligence strikes targeting sensitive Houthi sites in Sanaa, Taiz, and Hodeidah over the past few days has raised speculation among Yemeni security experts of an unprecedented infiltration within the group’s leadership — allegedly by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.
Experts speaking to Al-Montasaf Net stated that the nature of the attacks — including blasts inside strategic weapons depots and during secret meetings — suggests that the operatives involved were not ordinary field agents, but highly trained intelligence teams capable of infiltrating heavily fortified locations.
Sources further pointed out that these operations resemble those carried out inside Iran, where Mossad cells are known to target the country’s security infrastructure.
On Wednesday, the capital Sanaa witnessed a series of powerful explosions at military sites in the al-Sab’een, Dar Salm, and Attan areas, followed by the detonation of weapons storage facilities. Despite conflicting statements from the Houthis, eyewitnesses and local sources confirmed that the blasts occurred within Houthi-controlled sites, causing significant losses.
A High-Level Secret Meeting Targeted
In an even more critical development, reports indicated that a precise airstrike targeted a high-level secret meeting of Houthi leaders in a residential complex in the Hadda district of Sanaa. The attack reportedly killed several prominent figures, including a senior member of the al-Ghamari family, a close associate of Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.
It is believed that the exact time and location of the meeting were determined with unprecedented accuracy, reinforcing the likelihood of a deep intelligence breach.
Following the strike, the Houthi group issued urgent evacuation orders for top commanders from their homes and imposed a complete ban on mobile phone usage, amid a climate of internal panic, mounting suspicion, and mutual accusations of betrayal and information leaks.
An Assassination List?
Well-informed sources suggest that Israel has prepared a hit list targeting top Houthi officials — with Abdul-Malik al-Houthi at the top — as part of what is believed to be a coordinated campaign against Iranian proxies in the region, reflecting a deliberate and escalating strategy.
These developments have prompted the Houthi militias to implement strict security measures in Sanaa, including blocking access to entire neighborhoods, tightening surveillance over communications, and isolating leaders arriving from Saada from central positions.
A Strategic Turning Point
Observers view these operations as a qualitative shift in the conflict, exposing the Houthis’ vulnerabilities in intelligence and their heavy reliance on Iranian support, which itself is under threat as Israeli strikes intensify inside Iran.
Medical sources confirmed that Al-Quds and 48 hospitals in Sanaa have received dozens of dead and wounded Houthi officials, while the group maintains strict silence about the true scale of the casualties.
