Operation in Sana’a against Houthi network: four Iranian experts killed
A security and military operation carried out at dawn last Friday in the heart of Sana’a is reported to have targeted a secret communications network linked to the Houthis’ command and control system, with the aim of foiling an attack on Saudi Arabia planned by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards from Yemeni territory. This was reported by Al Arabiya, citing a report by Sheba Intelligence, though without specifying which force was responsible for the drones and the team deployed in the operation. According to the report, the operation, codenamed ‘In the Heart of the Enemy’, combined air and ground operations. The drones reportedly identified and tracked the nodes of a fibre-optic communications network, enabling a ground team to strike a main communications centre connected to the network within the Yemeni capital. According to Al Arabiya, four Iranian experts involved in the network were also killed in the operation.
