Yemen's Houthis Replace Iranian Technology to Avoid Hezbollah's Fate: Shift Towards Chinese and Russian Tech
Houthi Rebels have begun replacing Iranian technology with Chinese and Russian surveillance and communication systems, aiming to prevent security breaches similar to those that have affected their allies in the "Axis of Resistance," particularly Hezbollah in Lebanon.
According to leaked documents, the Rebels are strengthening its intelligence capabilities by importing advanced equipment from China, including data extraction devices worth $60,000, designated for the Jihadi Preventive Security Unit, the Houthis' covert intelligence arm, overseen by senior leader Ahsan Abdullah Al-Hamran, a close associate of Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi.
Reports indicate that Chinese and Russian technical and intelligence support for the Houthis is increasing, coinciding with the withdrawal of Iranian vessels, which previously served as command and control centers in the Red Sea. This shift in strategy comes as the Houthis continue their military escalation in the region, including drone and missile strikes against Israeli targets. The move reflects their efforts to enhance cyber defenses and reduce vulnerability to security breaches.

Women's Organization in Mahabisha holds rally under slogan: 'No Security for Zionist Entity… Gaza & Al-Aqsa under attack' in Hajjah
Hajjah - Saba: The Women's Organization in Mahabisha, Hajjah province, organized a solidarity stand in support of Al-Aqsa and the Palestinian people under the slogan 'No Security for the Zionist Entity… Gaza and Al-Aqsa Under Attack." During the rally held in Al-Shuja'a, participants condemned the genocidal crimes committed by the Zionists in Gaza and their ongoing desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the watch of the world. They denounced the silence of Arab and Islamic regimes and peoples in the face of the genocide and Zionist atrocities against the people of Gaza, as well as the enemy's violations against the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque. The rally reaffirmed its mandate to the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddin Al-Houthi, to take appropriate measures in support of the valiant resistance in Gaza. A statement issued during the event renewed the pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), declaring that the people of faith and wisdom will not remain silent in the face of repeated Jewish insults against the Noble Prophet and his holy sanctuary, Al-Aqsa. The response, it emphasized, must go beyond condemnation—calling instead for mass mobilization and readiness to confront the enemy. The statement urged the armed forces to continue military operations, missile strikes, drone attacks, and general mobilization, as well as economic boycotts of the enemies, as forms of jihad in the path of Allah. It also called on the peoples of the Ummah to take action within their means, stressing that no one is weaker or in a worse situation than Gaza, which continues to resist the most ruthless empire of evil—backed by America, the infidel West, and global Zionism—without surrender.
