Israeli Mossad spy agency attempting to recruit agents in Yemen: Report
The Israeli Mossad spying agency is reportedly seeking to recruit agents inside Yemen to gather intelligence in preparation for a potential escalation of military strikes against the Arab country.
According to a report published by the Arabic-language daily newspaper Al Akhbar on Wednesday, the Israeli regime is seeking to separate the Yemen issue from the Gaza war to prepare for a military onslaught against Sana’a.
To this end, Israeli authorities are trying to recruit and hire spies in Yemen, the report added.
Over the past two days, Mossad has launched a massive recruitment campaign via social media platforms, calling on opponents of the Yemeni Ansarullah movement to join Unit 504, which performs clandestine and covert operations, Al Akhbar said.
The report said that observers in Sana’a have warned of the move, saying intensive Mossad activities indicate Israel's willingness to intensify intelligence operations in Yemen in the future and carry out preemptive attacks in reprisal for the Yemeni support of the Palestinians in Gaza.
The daily newspaper highlighted that although the Yemeni support operations in the Gaza Strip have stopped since the ceasefire agreement came into effect at the beginning of the week, Israel’s threats against Sana’a have not stopped.
Recently, Israeli Channel 12 confirmed that prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet was planning to continue strikes against Yemen even after the war in Gaza was over.
The channel, citing an unnamed senior Israeli security official, said the cabinet has decided to treat the Yemen issue apart from the Gaza war, so that the military confrontation with Yemen will continue after the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Last December, a Yemeni official said they had uncovered a spy ring working for the Mossad secret service and the CIA.
In an official statement, Ansarullah said the spies were tasked with identifying and monitoring Yemeni military sites, such as those of missile, drone, and naval forces, as well as weapons depots, and with locating and collecting information on political and military figures and other individuals in Yemen.
The spy ring was reportedly operated by a Saudi man named Hamid Hussein Majali, who has been active in Yemen since October 7, 2023, trying to recruit locals to conduct espionage activities and obstruct the Yemeni military’s retaliatory strikes against Israeli interests in support of Gaza.
