Yemeni Forces Uncover and Dismantle US-Israeli Spy Network
Arrests and Confessions Reveal Extent of Operation
In a significant security victory against American and Israeli intelligence, Yemeni security forces have successfully uncovered and dismantled a spying and sabotage cell affiliated with the United States, Britain, and Israel. The cell was recruited to target the country’s internal front, particularly the Yemeni armed forces supporting the Palestinian people.
The security forces, with the support of the Ministry of Defense, arrested several spies who were recruited by officers and elements belonging to an intelligence entity called “Force 400”, led by the wanted spy Ammar Afash.
The security forces monitored the intelligence activity of the American and Israeli enemy and agents following “Force 400”. This came after the Yemeni people and their leadership announced their engagement in the battle of “Promised Victory and Holy Jihad” in support of the besieged Palestinian people, targeting Zionist enemy sites in the occupied Palestinian territories, and banning Israeli navigation in the Red and Arabian seas within the framework of the American and British aggression on Yemen.
These spies were recruited to gather information about the locations of the Yemeni armed forces, monitor the locations of naval force boats, and the launch sites of missiles and drones targeting the Zionist enemy from the western coast of the Yemeni Republic, and raise their coordinates to their operators from mercenaries in Mocha, to target them by American and British fighters. The actions of the force resulted in the martyrdom of some and the injury of others, in addition to material losses.
Among the tasks assigned to the members of the force, according to their confessions, were the execution of criminal and sabotage operations, which involved disabling and burning vehicles belonging to the armed forces and security, and preparing to carry out assassinations using silencer pistols and explosives. This was done to distract the armed forces from confronting the trio of evil: America, Britain, and Israel, and supporting the besieged Palestinian people. In addition, their plan also aimed to destabilize the internal front.
In the same context, the security forces renewed their confirmation that they will spare no effort in carrying out their responsibility in securing the internal front and fortifying it from the American and Israeli enemy, warning of the danger of working for hostile intelligence agencies, which the penalty for that reaches execution.
Observers believe that with this achievement, Yemeni security delivers a strong blow to American, Israeli, and British intelligence combined, alongside the successive blows and strikes that the armed forces direct to the global trio of evil in the Arabian and Red Seas and the Indian Ocean, reaching the Mediterranean Sea, and the occupied Palestinian territories.
The revelation of this security intelligence achievement indicates that the security forces form a solid dam to protect Yemen from the inside and support the armed forces to wage the battle of “Holy Jihad and Promised Victory”.
This achievement is added to thousands of achievements that have been achieved by the security forces during nearly ten years of the revolution of the 21st of September, nine years of which Yemen suffered from aggression, fierce war, and severe siege at the hands of the American-Saudi aggression coalition.
The Ministry of Interior revealed on the ninth anniversary of the aggression on the 26th of last March its achievements that “thwarted the crimes of the enemy and its mercenaries and its terrorist tools such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda, and thwarted its criminal operations that tried to target markets, public places, roads, service institutions, and police stations, with explosives and explosive devices and suicidal operations, in addition to thwarting its sabotage works that it supported, funded, and adopted, and at the forefront of which are crimes of smuggling drugs and weed and other criminal acts that target Yemeni society; to undermine it, dismantle it, and tear it apart.”
In numerical terms, the ministry clarified that the security forces managed during the years of aggression “to control 1,782 cells affiliated with the aggression that were planning to carry out sabotage plots and assassinations in the capital, Sana’a, and the free governorates, and thwarted 354 suicidal operations for the Takfiri elements that were targeting citizens in public places. Moreover, they managed to stop and dismantle 3,693 explosive devices and explosives that were prepared by the elements affiliated with the aggression to target the lives of citizens on the roads and public places.
The security forces were also able to control 1,160 elements affiliated with the Takfiri groups, and 23,508 elements recruited by the aggression to carry out sabotage operations targeting security and stability, and arrest 2,157 elements recruited by the aggression to carry out monitoring operations and target identification.
Returning to the dismantling of “Force 400”, Israeli and American intelligence chose the wanted for justice, Ammar Afash, to manage it, who has a black history and a long experience in the betrayal of his country; serving the enemies of the nation, and Yemenis remember the scenes of this traitor when he held leadership positions in the government before the revolution of the twenty-first of September 2014, and next to him were American recruiters, and he was overseeing the destruction of Yemen’s military and air capabilities and blowing them up with American hands!
Confessions of Spies Reveal Extent of Espionage Operations
The confessions of several spies have shed light on the extent of the espionage operations against Yemen. The confessions were translated into English and slightly altered for better readability in English.
Confessions of the Spy, Mohammed Mahnash:
When Ansar Allah initiated missile attacks targeting Israeli vessels and those associated with Israel, I received a call from Ahmed Ismail who is in Al-Khokha Directorate. He was seeking information regarding the missiles, drones, the locations of Ansar Allah, and their tanks. To maintain secrecy, we used coded language in our conversations. We referred to the missiles and drones as ‘bees’, the army as ‘rams’, and the tanks as ‘cows’.
Confessions of the Spy, Ehab Sebtan:
Ahmed Abura contacted me on December 9th, requesting my assistance in monitoring the locations of the “Ansar Allah” Mujahideen. After completing the task of observing the reinforcements of the Yemeni army, he instructed me to download the Google Maps application on my mobile device. He wanted me to use the satellite view to pinpoint the locations of the Ansar Allah Mujahideen brothers.
He explained to me over WhatsApp how the application works, including how to determine the coordinates of a monitored location, capture a screenshot, and then send it to him via WhatsApp.
I moved to ……… I took an aerial photograph of it, which mostly included Mujahideen brothers affiliated with the naval forces. I also took an aerial photograph of the fish landing place, a picture without coordinates. Then, I moved south to…………… where I identified a room as “affiliated with the naval forces”. I authenticated the coordinates, took a screenshot, and sent it to him. Then, I moved to……………… and sent him the coordinates of a room at the gate, at the garden gate, and the room next to it. I took photographs of them, and the room to its east, all of which are affiliated with the navy.
Next, I located a combat boat belonging to the Navy and marked coordinates in the middle of the boat………… then I moved to……, where I identified a location affiliated with the Navy. Next to it, on the north side, I found a small room also affiliated with the navy. I identified a series of rooms in a straight line, all of them affiliated with the Navy. Then, I moved to the sea where I found two rooms on the sea. Through my work as a fisherman, I had previously noticed these rooms. I identified the two rooms and a boat, which I used to see in the place, as affiliated with the Navy. Then, I identified a place affiliated with the Mujahideen “Ansar Allah” that I see on the asphalt road while walking in a farm…… south of this point that is in…….
As for my acquaintance with Ahmed Abura, he was appointed from “Anbarah” – the name of their command headquarters – when our brigade graduated from training and a police company was chosen. We came from “Anbarah” and he was our direct commander, managing both the field and intelligence following Tariq Affash simultaneously.
He worked as a police commander and performed intelligence work. For this reason, he did not take escorts with him to avoid discovery. One day, I accompanied him for 10 days and noticed that he attended meetings in “Anbarah”, and visited Ammar, Tariq’s brother, nicknamed the knight on the western coast who manages all intelligence in the western coast and all directions come from him.
He attended meetings with “Ammar Affash” and they were conducting intelligence work. It is known that “Anbarah” is their command headquarters.
As for the Abu Musa camp located in Al-Khokha, it is a camp affiliated with Ammar, nicknamed the knight. The camp consists of a training camp and “legality” affiliated with the intelligence affiliated with Ammar and it has a prison.
Recently, it became clear to me that the coordinates that I raised for Ahmed Abura, affiliated with the forces of Tariq Affash, were targeted by American and British aggression warplanes. This confirms that the information and the coordinates that I was sending to him reached the Americans and the British, who then targeted them.
There are many coordinates that I raised for Ahmed Abura, affiliated with the forces of Tariq Affash, in Hodeidah, which I mentioned earlier.
Mohammed Anib, a spy, confessed that at the start of the Gaza events, Ahmed Aboura contacted him and asked for information about the naval forces of Ansar Allah. He provided Aboura with locations where Ansar Allah was present and information about the navy of Ansar Allah.
Yasr Wahban, another spy, confessed that he was paid 300 Saudi Riyals by Khaled Abu Arba to work with him. He was frequently asked about reinforcements and information about the naval force boats and their locations.
Confessions of the spy Yahya Khannan:
During the period when Ansar Allah were launching missiles from the Al-Durayhimi district, towards the American and Israeli warships, Ahmed Belaous Atiq, who joined the Tuarek resistance [Tariq Affash militias], contacted me. He asked me to monitor the places and farms from which the missiles were launched toward the American and Israeli warships, and to monitor the preparations of the Mujahideen “Ansar Allah” in the Al-Durayhimi district, such as snipers, tanks, and the increase in the number of Mujahideen.
He also asked me to monitor the extent to which people accept the Mujahideen “Ansar Allah”.
I have monitored the missiles that are launched, and monitored them for Ahmed Belaous, through the geographical locations program, and I took a screenshot and sent it to him.
He also asked me to monitor the farms of the locations of the Mujahideen Ansar Allah in……., and he also asked me to monitor a checkpoint and also monitor the weapons stores and I also monitored them for him.
He also asked me for information about the islands that follow Ansar Allah, and he also asked me to monitor the trenches, monitor the trenches that are in the Al-Durayhimi district and I monitored them for him.
He also asked me to monitor the missiles that are launched from……., and he also asked me for information about the leaders of the Mujahideen “Ansar Allah” and I sent it to him.
Confessions of the spy Abdullah Saadat:
Before Ramadan, Mohammed Qattab reached out to me from Al-Khokha. He requested that I observe and report on the locations from which missiles were being launched. He wanted to confirm their origin and investigate the source of these weapons, specifically the missiles. He also asked me to identify the direction from which the missiles were being launched.
Mohammed Qattab inquired about the launch points of Ansar Allah’s missiles. In response, I informed him about a specific direction………., and noted that a missile had been relocated to that direction………. I also pointed out to him certain yards where soldiers were gathered. Additionally, he asked me to identify the locations of the trenches.
Confessions of the spy Akram Redman:
My brother Bassam, who is based in Al-Khokha and works with the Tariq Affash militias, was in communication with Alaa Sabi. They planned to burn the vehicles of Ansar Allah. Alaa Sabi agreed to the plan. Bassam said it was necessary and to document and photograph any vehicle he intended to burn. Alaa then approached me and gave me the offer to join in this plan. He told me that my brother Bassam wanted us to burn Ansar Allah’s vehicles.
Confessions of the spy Alaa Sabi:
“Anbarah” consisted of four gates. The first gate was the Yemeni gate. Upon entering the first gate, passengers behind the vehicle would disembark and only the driver and the brigade commander would remain. Then, we would enter the second gate, which was controlled by people from Yafa’a . They would thoroughly search us. After that, we would enter the third gate, controlled by the Sudanese, where we and the vehicle would be searched. Finally, we would enter the fourth gate, controlled by the Emiratis.
As for the prison affiliated with “Anbarah”, it is currently located in Abu Musa and is called “400”. It is affiliated with Ammar Affash. Everyone who is imprisoned there, released, or tortured is by complete orders from Ammar.
Regarding the work I did, Bassam, the brother of Akram Redman, contacted me. I greeted him and asked him about the nature of the work he had for me. He explained that the job involved burning vehicles. Specifically, if I burned the vehicles belonging to Ansar Allah, he would then provide me with silenced pistols for potential assassinations and other operations.
We agreed to this plan. Akram and I took our motorcycle and our phones. It was around 1:00 AM during Ramadan when we went to burn the vehicle.
We reported the operation to Bassam. The next day, Akram and I agreed that I would take my wife for a walk, then return her home and go back to the football club. The idea was to play with my friends there, who could vouch that I was with them at the club and had no other involvement. Akram was there before me.
Confessions of the spy Amro Khalouf:
Mohammed Ahmed Fatini, a friend, was with us in the Husseiniya of Beit Al-Faqih district. He left and traveled to Al-Khokha with the “resistance” Tariq Affash militias along with Mohammed Ibrahim Marouf. He stayed there for a while and then contacted me, wanting me to come with him there, but I refused to go.
Then he contacted me and told me he had a job for me. I asked him what the job was, and he said it was to burn the “Houthi” vehicles, meaning the military vehicles of Ansar Allah. He said he would give me 3,000 Saudi Riyals for each operation. He sent me a touch phone and 100 Saudi Riyals to buy a SIM card and cover the expenses for photographing the operations.
I agreed and took the phone. Ahmed Ibrahim Jbeily and Safwan told me that the mission was on them. Afterward, Ahmed Jbeily told me that there was a Hilux vehicle next to our house near the kitchen, and he was going to handle it. I said okay to him. He told me that he would take Safwan with him. They left around 1:00 or 1:30 in the night.
Confessions of the spy Safwan Abdul-Ilah:
Ahmed Jbeily and I went to the house. He gave me his wife’s Jilbāb, the petrol, and the lighter, and I went and burned it while Ahmed Jbeily was on the roofs taking pictures.
Confessions of the spy Ahmed Jbeily:
Safwan wore the Jilbāb, poured the petrol, and burned the car, while I took pictures and sent the video to Amro Khalouf.
