Hamas Security Official: Israeli spy devices discovered at multiple sites in Gaza Strip
A security official in the Hamas movement said Monday that resistance forces had uncovered Israeli surveillance and espionage devices planted at various locations across the Gaza Strip with the help of collaborators.
The official, speaking to the press, explained that multi-purpose quadcopter drones were used by the Israeli military to plant listening and recording devices for espionage and military purposes.
According to Palestine's SAFA News Agency, one of the seized devices was found hidden among rubble in a critical area, capable of recording and transmitting video footage. The device was engineered to conserve battery power by using image sensors rather than continuous video recording.
One of the devices reportedly captured the moment a young girl was killed while attempting to move from southern to northern Gaza. The device used motion-activated sensors to capture images and footage day and night, transmitting the data to Israeli intelligence.
Another tracking device, operating with a SIM card, was discovered near a site where Israeli captives were handed over during the second prisoner exchange deal.
The official added that a booby-trapped listening device, disguised as a deteriorated plastic container, was found near a refugee shelter in Gaza City. Resistance engineers were able to disable and dismantle the device, analyze its mechanism, and identify its intended purpose.
In another instance, a surveillance device camouflaged inside a concrete block was discovered in southern Gaza, planted by a collaborator, and later repurposed by the resistance for military and intelligence use.
The official also confirmed that another spy device was hidden inside concrete near a hospital courtyard in southern Gaza to eavesdrop on civilians.
He praised the high alertness of Gaza's civilians, urging continued vigilance in identifying espionage threats.
Since October 7, 2023, backed by U.S. and European support, the Israeli military has carried out a genocidal war on Gaza, killing 57,523 Palestinian civilians—mostly women and children—and injuring 136,617 others, according to preliminary figures. Thousands more remain buried under rubble or stranded in inaccessible areas, as rescue and ambulance teams are often unable to reach them.

Israeli Airstrikes Severely Damage Yemeni Ports and Commercial Vessels , Ambrey Says
Israeli airstrikes targeting Houthi-controlled infrastructure in Yemen have caused significant damage to key Red Sea ports and at least two commercial vessels, according to maritime security sources and satellite imagery. The Israeli military confirmed it launched coordinated strikes on the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and Salif, as well as the Ras Qantib power station, in retaliation for recent missile and drone attacks launched by the Houthi movement against Israeli territory. British maritime security firm Ambrey reported that concrete docks at Hodeidah port sustained visible blast damage, and two Barbados-flagged bulk carriers docked at the time were likely affected by the explosions. No crew injuries have been reported so far. Local sources and satellite images also revealed: - Extensive fire damage to port infrastructure and storage areas. - Disruption of port operations, with vessels forced to suspend unloading. - Damage to cranes, warehouses, and customs facilities, with some estimates suggesting up to 70% of the port's operational capacity was affected. The port of Hodeidah is Yemen's primary maritime gateway, handling nearly 80% of the country's food and humanitarian imports. Aid agencies have warned that continued strikes on such infrastructure could worsen the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, where millions remain in urgent need of assistance. The Israeli military stated that the targeted ports were being used to transfer Iranian weapons and support Houthi operations against Israel and international shipping. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that 'anyone who raises a hand against Israel will have it cut off,' vowing continued retaliation.

Four Injured, Missing After Attack on Commercial Vessel Off Yemen's Coast
Aen - Two crew members were injured and two others remain missing following a coordinated attack on the Liberian-flagged cargo ship Magic Seas off the coast of Al Hudaydah, Yemen, according to international maritime sources. Security reports indicate that the vessel was targeted in a complex assault involving armed speedboats, aerial drones, and unmanned explosive-laden boats, resulting in a fire and water ingress into the ship's hull. The crew managed to partially contain the fire before being forced to abandon the vessel due to escalating danger. Authorities confirmed that two sailors sustained varying degrees of injuries, while two others are currently unaccounted for, as international naval forces in the region continue search and rescue operations. This marks the second such attack within 48 hours in the Red Sea, signaling a sharp escalation after months of relative calm following an informal truce between the Houthi movement and the United States. The Houthi group has claimed responsibility for the attack, describing it as part of its 'response to Israeli aggression and Western support,' according to a statement by the group's military spokesperson. The Red Sea has witnessed a surge in maritime threats since late 2023, with dozens of commercial vessels targeted, prompting many global shipping companies to reroute away from traditional passages through the Suez Canal.
