Houthis Claim to Have Thwarted CIA and Mossad Intelligence Operations in Yemen
The Houthi movement has claimed that its security forces have disrupted intelligence activities conducted by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israel's Mossad in Yemen. This revelation comes amidst an escalation in Houthi-launched UAVs and missile strikes against Israel, as Tel Aviv prepares for a possible fourth military operation against the group. The Houthi-controlled Saba news agency , which speaks for the internationally unrecognized government in Sana'a, reported that Yemeni security authorities had arrested several spies connected to a man named Hamid Hussein Fayed Majli. These operatives were reportedly involved in intelligence missions, such as identifying and tracking Yemeni missile sites, drone facilities, naval bases, and other military installations. The report also detailed that the alleged espionage network had been tasked with pinpointing the locations of political, military, and security leaders, as well as key social figures in Yemen who are opposed to Israel and the United States. Among the targets was Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the group's leader, along with other unspecified political and military figures. According to Saba, the information collected by the cell was to be funneled to Majli, who would pass it on to Mossad for potential strikes. The Houthis hailed the arrests as a significant victory, claiming they had foiled extensive recruitment efforts by foreign intelligence agencies that have been ongoing since the beginning of their self-proclaimed "solidarity campaign with Gaza" about a year ago. Majli is reportedly a native of Saada province, the heartland of the Houthi movement and the home of its leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. Saada has been a stronghold for the group since 2014 when they launched their campaign to capture Sana'a, ultimately toppling the internationally recognized government led by former President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. Recent information suggests that Majli is currently serving as a trade attaché at the Yemeni embassy in Saudi Arabia. He is also the brother of Othman Majli, a member of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council and Parliament. The Majli family, known for its opposition to the Houthis, has deep roots in Saada, where their homes were reportedly destroyed by Houthi forces in retaliation for their anti-Houthi stance. The Majli family has maintained strong ties with Saudi Arabia and has taken refuge there after being expelled from Saada by the Houthis, who also seized control of the capital, Sana'a. The Houthis' recent allegations against the Majli family come as Israeli officials continue to emphasize the importance of targeting key Houthi leaders, particularly Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. He is believed to be residing in Saada, a location that has become a focal point in Israeli media as a possible target for military action in Tel Aviv's broader strategy for managing its conflict with the Houthis.

اغتيال مواطن داخل محله في مديرية أرحب بطريقة بشعة
The ICC have confirmed a change to Australia's T20 World Cup squad ahead of their blockbuster clash with India Heather Graham has flown to Dubai to join Australia's T20 World Cup squad, replacing injured quick Tayla Vlaeminck for the remainder of the tournament. The International Cricket Council confirmed the change to Australia's 15-player squad on Sunday afternoon local time, after Vlaeminck dislocated her right bowling shoulder while fielding against Pakistan on Friday. Kaur urges focus as India fight to keep Cup hopes alive The change to Australia's squad has been approved by the ICC's technical committee. An update from Cricket Australia, which will provide more details around the extent of Vlaeminck's injury and her recovery, will come in due course. Australia have not yet provided an update on injured captain Alyssa Healy, who was forced to retire hurt with an "acute right foot injury" while batting against Pakistan, and who underwent scans on Saturday. Their final Group A game against India in Sharjah will start at 6pm local time (1am Monday AEDT), and Healy's situation will become clearer shortly. Aussie depth to be tested after double injury blow Allrounder Graham had been playing for the Hobart Hurricanes in the T20 Spring Challenge in Adelaide, and arrived in the United Arab Emirates early on Sunday morning. She had been the 16th member of Australia's T20I squad that played New Zealand at home in September, but was not part of the group that travelled on to the World Cup. She played one game during that series, brought into the XI at the last minute after Ashleigh Gardner clashed heads with Georgia Wareham during a warm-up ahead of the first T20I. Vlaeminck's injury is a shattering blow for the 25-year-old and her teammates, and a particularly cruel setback for the right-armer who was playing her first World Cup game since 2018 on Friday night, but was forced from the field just four balls into the game when she dislocated her shoulder while diving to stop a boundary. Injury-hit Aussies must rapidly regroup for India showdown The Victorian had endured two knee reconstructions and shoulder surgery before her 21st birthday, then was ruled out of the 2020 T20 World Cup on the eve of the tournament with a stress fracture to the navicular bone of her right foot. She returned from the ailment in 2021, only to suffer a recurrence of the injury during the 2022 home Ashes. Vlaeminck then dislocated her left shoulder - the same one she had previously injured - during her comeback tour for Australia A in the UK in mid-2023 and required surgery before returning late in the 2024-25 summer. Vlaeminck had made an emotional return to Australian colours during the white-ball tour of Bangladesh in March, before earning her place in this T20 World Cup squad. 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Australia squad: Alyssa Healy (c), Tahlia McGrath (vc), Darcie Brown, Ash Gardner, Kim Garth, Grace Harris, Heather Graham, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Sophie Molineux, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham Australia's Group A fixtures October 5: beat Sri Lanka by six wickets October 8: beat New Zealand by 60 runs October 11: beat Pakistan by nine wickets October 13: v India, Sharjah Cricket Stadium, 1am Oct 14 AEDT Finals October 17: Semi-final 1, Sharjah Cricket Stadium, 1am Oct 18 AEDT October 18: Semi-final 2, Dubai International Cricket Stadium, 1am Oct 19 AEDT October 20: Final, Dubai International Cricket Stadium, 1am Oct 21 AEDT For the full list of fixtures click here.
