Sana’a, Yemen – Yemeni opposition media reports revealed that the Houthi group is preparing to announce the deaths of a number
of its most prominent leaders during recent Israeli and American raids.
Which targeted the group’s sites in Sanaa and other areas of northern Yemen,
after weeks of silence and secrecy about their fate.
According to the Yemeni opposition website Defense Line,
the Houthi leadership issued orders to postpone the official burial ceremonies for the slain leaders.
It prohibited publication of any details about their identities or the locations of their deaths until
the end of the military operations carried out by the group under the banner of “Supporting Gaza.”
The report explained that the so-called “Jihad Office”
within the group directed its members to keep the bodies secret.
This is to avoid the advertisement having an impact on
the morale of the fighters or the organization’s image among its supporters.
According to security sources quoted by the website, the strikes carried out in June
and August inflicted heavy losses on the Houthis’ security and technological infrastructure.
This caused widespread confusion among their ranks,
prompting the group to impose strict security measures in
the capital, Sana’a, and areas under its control.
Sources indicate that the recent attacks have exposed the weakness of their communications
and control networks. They now believe that their intelligence system has been compromised.
The recent attacks revealed the weakness of their communication and control networks.
The group also imposed strict restrictions on the circulation of
any images or information related to the bombing sites.
Threatening severe penalties against anyone who publishes details
about the extent of the losses, considering it a “free service to the enemy.”
These developments come amid growing divisions within the Houthi leadership.
With the escalation of attacks targeting influential field figures,
