ALBAWABA- The Houthi-controlled government in Yemen made a startling announcement on Monday, revealing the dismantling of a "spy network" purportedly conducting activities in support of the United States and Israel.
Following this revelation, Houthis have apprehended multiple individuals implicated in the network.
According to the Sheba News Agency, known for its affiliation with the Houthis, a recorded video showcasing the suspects was released.
The agency stated that these individuals were recruited to collect intelligence and monitor Yemeni armed forces' locations along the western coast of the Yemeni Republic, allegedly on behalf of the American and Israeli governments.
Recruitment into the network reportedly surged after the Houthis initiated attacks on ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden back in November.
These attacks, claimed by the Houthis as a show of solidarity with Palestinians amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict, resulted in disruptions to global trade.
Although the agency did not specify the exact number of detainees, unverified images circulated by Saba News on social media purportedly depict at least 18 individuals.
Despite the allegations, no concrete evidence has been presented to substantiate the claims made against the suspects.
In response, Houthi-controlled security forces pledged vigorous efforts to safeguard internal security and ward off purported infiltration attempts by the US and Israel.
According to reports, the detained suspects were allegedly tasked with monitoring missile launches, drones, and military boat positions for operators linked to what is known as "Force 400."
These operations aimed to enable targeting by American and British aircraft, resulting in casualties and material losses.
