Yemen : Houthi Rebels Arrest Deputy Intelligence Chief Over Alleged Leak

On Tuesday, the Houthi rebels in Yemen detained Abdul Qader Al-Shami, the deputy head of their intelligence service, on charges of leaking sensitive coordinates of rebel locations.
The arrest follows a series of airstrikes that targeted key Houthi positions, reportedly facilitated by the leaked information.
Local sources suggest that the leaked coordinates enabled precision strikes, leading to significant losses within the Houthi ranks. The arrest of Al-Shami is seen as part of an internal crackdown aimed at addressing vulnerabilities within the group's leadership and operations.
This development highlights the growing tensions and internal challenges faced by the Houthis as they navigate both external military pressures and internal security concerns.
The incident underscores the complexities of the ongoing conflict in Yemen, where intelligence and counterintelligence play critical roles in shaping the dynamics of the war.
