Yemen Gov't forces Capture Houthi , Al-Qaeda Cells in Aden ,Taiz
Yemeni authorities announced on Tuesday the arrest of Houthi-affiliated and Al-Qaeda cells in Aden and Taiz following intensive surveillance and intelligence tracking. Aden police issued an official statement confirming the capture of a specialized Houthi cell tasked with monitoring the movements of military and security officials within southern forces. The arrested individuals confessed to undergoing combat training in Houthi-run camps before being deployed to Aden for espionage missions. Meanwhile, Taiz's Supreme Security Committee reported the detention of several extremist operatives linked to Al-Qaeda. According to preliminary investigations, these operatives coordinated with Houthi militias to execute sabotage operations and target security, military, and civilian leaders in the province and liberated areas. Officials revealed that these individuals were directly involved in acts of assassination and destruction, including their suspected role in the murder of World Food Program employee Moayad Hamidi in Al-Turba in 2023. Security forces also uncovered explosive materials, light and medium weapons, along with vehicles rigged for terrorist attacks inside residences belonging to the detained cells. Authorities suspect these groups planned assaults on government institutions and security facilities in both Aden and Taiz. The Yemeni government hailed the operation as part of ongoing efforts to reinforce security and stability, pledging to counter the threats posed by Houthi militias and extremist organizations seeking to destabilize the nation.

Yemen : "After Reports of Targeting"… Houthis Deny Assassination of the Group's Chief of Staff
Hours after Israeli media confirmed the targeting of the Chief of Staff of the Houthi militia forces in Yemen in an Israeli airstrike, the militia denied the accuracy of these claims. Ahmed Al-Rahwi, head of the Houthi-affiliated government in Yemen, stated: "What the Zionist enemy has promoted about the targeting of Chief of Staff Major General Mohammad Al-Ghamari is baseless and completely false." Attempt to Target Al-Ghamari Al-Rahwi added—according to "26 September," the website affiliated with the Yemeni group's Ministry of Defense—that "defending the Israeli enemy and its daily crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as its blatant aggression against Iran by members of the nation, is unacceptable." On Saturday evening, Channel 12 in Israel reported: "The Israeli Air Force attempted to assassinate the Houthi group's Chief of Staff in Yemen, Mohammad Al-Ghamari," without revealing the outcome of the operation. Additionally, an Israeli military official stated on Sunday that Israel still has a large list of targets in Iran that it has not yet struck, confirming that the attacks also targeted the military commander of the Yemeni Houthis last night. Missile Strikes on Israel On Sunday, the Houthis announced that they had launched several missiles toward Israel, while Tel Aviv carried out strikes on Iran, which responded with salvos of missiles. In a statement, the Houthis confirmed "the execution of a military operation targeting sensitive enemy sites in the occupied Jaffa area" and the use of "several hypersonic ballistic missiles of the 'Palestine-2' type at various intervals over the past 24 hours."

U.S. Central Command reveals Killing of Houthi Drone Expert in Iraq
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed the killing of a Houthi-affiliated expert in an airstrike targeting a site inside Iraqi territory, where he was reportedly working alongside members of Kataib Hezbollah and Lebanese Hezbollah to provide technical support in drone operations. The announcement came from General Michael Kurilla during a hearing before the U.S. House Armed Services Committee, where he stated that the strike was carried out in April 2024 and was part of Washington's broader efforts to 'contain Iranian regional influence and prevent advanced weapons from reaching militia groups.' Kurilla emphasized that, despite receiving heavy blows, the Houthi group still poses an "active threat to international navigation" in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait. He also revealed that approximately 80% of Houthi military supplies arrive via maritime smuggling routes originating in Iran. Additionally, he disclosed the existence of a confidential agreement recently reached between the U.S. and the Houthis, in which both sides agreed to suspend attacks—maritime and aerial respectively—allowing four American destroyers to safely transit through the Red Sea. Observers note that this incident highlights the increasing level of cooperation between Iran-aligned militias in the region and reflects the expanding reach of Houthi operations beyond Yemen's borders, amid continued instability across multiple conflict zones.
