Yemen: Security Forces Dismantle Dangerous Terror Cell in Taiz Linked to Houthis, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS
The Yemeni government announced on Saturday the successful dismantling of one of the most dangerous terrorist cells operating in the city of Taiz, with confirmed links to the Houthi militia, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS, according to a statement by the country's Supreme Security Committee. The operation followed weeks of intelligence gathering and surveillance, and resulted in the arrest of several individuals involved in assassinations, bombings, and espionage targeting military, civilian, and humanitarian figures in liberated provinces. Among those apprehended were suspects directly involved in the 2023 assassination of Moayad Hamidi, head of the World Food Programme office in Taiz, as well as individuals implicated in the 2021 car bombing targeting Aden Governor Ahmed Lamlas, which killed several of his bodyguards. Security forces also uncovered a bomb-making workshop in the Al-Shamayatayn district of Taiz, where explosive devices, car bomb components, and surveillance equipment were seized. Investigations revealed that the cell had been coordinating with senior Houthi leaders, including former military commander Amjad Khaled, who is accused of facilitating communication between the Houthis and extremist groups. The committee praised the efforts of local authorities, military units, and citizens in Taiz for their cooperation and vigilance, describing the operation as a major blow to terrorist networks seeking to destabilize Yemen's liberated areas. Officials confirmed that Yemen will coordinate with Interpol and international partners to pursue fugitives and bring them to justice, while also strengthening counterterrorism efforts and public awareness campaigns to combat extremist ideologies.

Israel Poised to Launch Large-Scale Military Operation in Yemen Against Iran-Backed Houthis
Aden - Israeli military officials have signaled preparations for a large-scale military operation in Yemen targeting the Iran-backed Houthi movement, following a series of missile and drone attacks launched from Yemeni territory toward Israel. According to Israeli defense sources, the planned operation comes in response to multiple ba llistic missile launches by the Houthis, including a recent strike aimed at Ben Gurion Airport, which was intercepted before impact. The Houthis have claimed responsibility for over 70 missile and drone attacks on Israel since the outbreak of the Gaza conflict in late 2023. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have already conducted limited airstrikes on Houthi-controlled infrastructure in Sanaa and Hodeidah, targeting what they described as weapons depots, missile launch sites, and Iranian supply routes. However, military analysts suggest that Israel is now preparing for a broader and more sustained campaign, potentially involving naval and air assets operating over long distances. The Houthis, for their part, have vowed to continue their attacks in what they call 'solidarity with Gaza', and have warned of retaliation if Israel expands its operations in Yemen.

Capital Secretariat… Expanded meeting launches Ashura commemoration events
Sana'a - Saba: The General Mobilization Sector of the Capital Secretariat organized an expanded meeting on Saturday with scholars, preachers, intellectuals, and educational and social elites to launch the events commemorating Ashura (the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him) for the year 1447 AH, under the slogan "Far from us is humiliation." During the inauguration, Yahya Al-Mahdi, a member of the Shura Council, emphasized that Ashura is a pivotal moment to rebuild the Islamic Ummah, correct its course, and advance on the path of jihad, dignity, honor, victory, and empowerment against enemies. He noted that the Yemeni people stood with Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) in the past and today renew their allegiance and support for the banners of guidance, the Household of the Prophet, and the Islamic Ummah, following Imam Hussein's path in confronting Zionist and American tyranny and supporting Gaza and Palestine. Meanwhile, Khalid Al-Madani, the First Undersecretary of the Capital Secretariat, stressed the importance of commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) and drawing lessons from the events of Karbala and the revolution of the Master of Martyrs, which stands as a revolution against tyranny and criminals. He explained that Imam Hussein rose against the injustice and deviation that afflicted the Islamic Ummah, striving to reform it and defend the religion of God and truth. Al-Madani pointed out that the enemies of Islam have deliberately spread falsehoods and distorted facts to keep the Ummah ignorant of Imam Hussein's suffering, his stances, and the principles for which he sacrificed. He added that Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) sacrificed his life, family, and companions to uphold the word of God, restore the Islamic Ummah to the right path, reject submission and humiliation, and confront the tyrants of his time. For his part, Dr. Qais Al-Tal, head of the Guidance Sector in the Capital Secretariat, reviewed cultural directives for commemorating Ashura (the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him), who remains one of the greatest symbols of Islam. He warned that the consequences of the Ummah's neglect toward Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) were disastrous for the Islamic nation, cautioning against similar neglect regarding the oppression of the Palestinian people and holy sites. Al-Tal noted that the Ummah lacks the Hussein-like stance of seeking justice against oppression and tyranny, urging everyone to adopt this courageous position against modern tyrants, including Zionists and Americans. He highlighted that the leader of the revolution, Sayyid Abdulmalik Badruddin Al-Houthi, and the Yemeni people are confronting Zionist and American tyranny, just as Imam Hussein confronted the tyrants of his era. In his remarks, cultural activist Ahmad Al-Khazan discussed the path of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), who rejected injustice and tyranny, refused compromise, submission, or humiliation, and led a revolution with immense sacrifices—offering his life, family, and companions for the sake of Islam. He affirmed that the Islamic Ummah must follow Imam Hussein's example in confronting the crimes and tyranny of Zionists and Americans, defending its causes and sanctities, and resisting all hostile plots and schemes.
