Germany arrests Yemeni man accused of fighting for Houthis
The man, identified as Hussein H. due to Germany's strict privacy laws, was apprehended in the town of Dachau, near Munich. According to prosecutors, the suspect is believed to have become involved with the Houthis as a teenager.
Officials allege that Hussein H. joined the group in October 2022, undergoing "ideological indoctrination" followed by military training that lasted approximately three months. He is then said to have participated in combat briefly in the Marib region of Yemen in early 2023.
Prosecutors have charged him with membership in a foreign terrorist organization. A judge has ordered that he remain in custody while authorities consider a formal indictment. No information was provided about when or how Hussein H. arrived in Germany.

'Israel' strikes Haziz power station in Yemen
'Israel' claimed on Sunday that it carried out an airstrike on an energy infrastructure site in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, targeting facilities linked to the Houthis. A statement from the 'Israeli' military said its forces 'struck… deep inside Yemen, targeting an energy infrastructure site that served the Houthi terrorist regime' in Sanaa, without specifying the exact location. Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV, citing a civil defence source, reported that the strike hit the Haziz power station south of Sanaa. Agence France-Presse (AFP) photographers documented significant damage at the site, though no casualties were reported. An employee confirmed 'two aggressive strikes by the Israeli enemy' had occurred early in the morning, adding that fortunately, no one was hurt. Since the outbreak of the 'Israeli' war on Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis have repeatedly launched missiles and drones toward 'Israel', citing solidarity with Palestinians. Defence Minister Israel Katz reinforced 'Israel's' stance on X, stating that the Houthis would 'pay with compound interest for every attempt to fire at Israel' and adding that 'Israel' was 'imposing an air and sea blockade' on the group, a threat he had first made in June. Beyond strikes on 'Israel', the Houthis have also targeted vessels they claim are linked to 'Israel' in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Their campaign expanded to ships associated with the United States and the United Kingdom following military operations in January 2024 aimed at securing the waterways.

Houthis claims drone strikes on four sites in ‘Israel'
The Houthis claimed today attacks on 'Israel' using six drones, targeting what they said is four "vital" sites in Haifa, the Negev, Eilat, and Beersheba, according to a statement. Houthis spokesman said the attacks were in solidarity with the Palestinian people and in response to what he called is the 'genocide and starvation crimes' carried out by the 'Israeli' military in Gaza. The 'Israeli' military reported earlier in a statement shooting one drone off the coast of Eilat, before the sirens were activated. The fate of the five other drones is unknown, with Hebrew media speculating they may fell short before reaching the borders of 'Israel'.
