The Yemeni security apparatus revealed that they have thwarted intelligence activities by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israeli Mossad.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Yemeni security forces stressed that "the enemy's intelligence seeks, through espionage activities, to hinder the Yemeni people's stance in support of Gaza by targeting its military forces and leadership."
The statement affirmed that they would spare no effort in fulfilling their responsibility to secure the internal front and protect it from attempts of penetration by their adversaries, further warning of the danger of collaborating with US and Israeli intelligence agencies, noting that the penalty for such actions could reach the death sentence.
The Yemeni security forces called on all those involved with or who collaborated with enemy intelligence to turn themselves into judicial authorities, emphasizing their ability to track them down wherever they may be.
In this context, the security forces revealed that several collaborators and spies, recruited by Hamid Hussein Fayed Mujalli, a wanted fugitive, were arrested over the past few days. According to the statement, they were assigned intelligence missions, including monitoring and identifying locations of missile forces, drones, naval forces, and other military sites.
Tracking and gathering information on experts, laboratories, platforms, and vehicles used for launching missiles and drones were also among the missions given to the collaborators, as well as monitoring locations and positions of naval forces, camps, and weapons depots belonging to the armed forces.
Moreover, the collaborators attempted to locate and gather information on the whereabouts of the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.
The forces then thanked citizens for their cooperation, urging everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or movements. They noted that they would disclose and declassify some information and details to the public once their procedures are completed.
In June, the Yemeni Security Forces uncovered a large espionage network operated by American and Israeli intelligence agencies. Officials revealed that the network had been active within various institutions in Yemen since 2015.
