Houthis claim they busted spy ring working for Mossad, CIA

Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim that they have uncovered a spy ring working for the Mossad secret service and the CIA.

In an official statement, the group alleges that the spies were tasked with identifying and monitoring its military sites, such as those of its missile, drone and naval forces as well as weapons depots, and with locating and collecting information on Houthi political and military figures and other individuals in Yemen wanted by the United States and Israel.

The spy ring was allegedly operated by a Saudi man named Hamid Hussein Majali, who the Houthis claim has been active in Yemen since October 7, 2023, trying to recruit locals to conduct espionage activities and obstruct the Houthis as they attack Israel and international shipping lanes in support of Hamas in Gaza.
