Yemeni Security Forces Arrest Suspects in UN Official's Assassination in Taiz
Yemeni security authorities in Taiz governorate have announced the arrest of several individuals suspected of involvement in the assassination of UN official Moayad Hamidi, who was gunned down in the city of Al-Turba in July 2023. According to the Taiz Security Committee, the arrests were made during a joint security operation in the Al-Shamayatayn district, south of the city. The detained individuals are believed to be part of a terrorist cell linked to the Houthi militia, and are accused of carrying out acts of sabotage, murder, and resistance to law enforcement in Taiz, Aden, and Lahj. Authorities confirmed that the suspects have direct ties to the killing of Hamidi, a Jordanian national and head of the World Food Programme's office in Taiz, who was assassinated just days after assuming his post. The operation also led to the seizure of explosives, light and medium weapons, and vehicles rigged for attacks, which were allegedly intended for use in targeting military, security, and civilian leaders in Taiz and other regions. The security committee emphasized that investigations are ongoing and pledged to bring all perpetrators to justice, reaffirming its commitment to combating terrorism and protecting humanitarian workers operating in Yemen.

Yemen : "After Reports of Targeting"… Houthis Deny Assassination of the Group's Chief of Staff
Hours after Israeli media confirmed the targeting of the Chief of Staff of the Houthi militia forces in Yemen in an Israeli airstrike, the militia denied the accuracy of these claims. Ahmed Al-Rahwi, head of the Houthi-affiliated government in Yemen, stated: "What the Zionist enemy has promoted about the targeting of Chief of Staff Major General Mohammad Al-Ghamari is baseless and completely false." Attempt to Target Al-Ghamari Al-Rahwi added—according to "26 September," the website affiliated with the Yemeni group's Ministry of Defense—that "defending the Israeli enemy and its daily crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as its blatant aggression against Iran by members of the nation, is unacceptable." On Saturday evening, Channel 12 in Israel reported: "The Israeli Air Force attempted to assassinate the Houthi group's Chief of Staff in Yemen, Mohammad Al-Ghamari," without revealing the outcome of the operation. Additionally, an Israeli military official stated on Sunday that Israel still has a large list of targets in Iran that it has not yet struck, confirming that the attacks also targeted the military commander of the Yemeni Houthis last night. Missile Strikes on Israel On Sunday, the Houthis announced that they had launched several missiles toward Israel, while Tel Aviv carried out strikes on Iran, which responded with salvos of missiles. In a statement, the Houthis confirmed "the execution of a military operation targeting sensitive enemy sites in the occupied Jaffa area" and the use of "several hypersonic ballistic missiles of the 'Palestine-2' type at various intervals over the past 24 hours."
