More hostages likely
How did the Houthis fall for the oldest trick in the book? Israel managed to airstrike the entire minister cabinet while they were gathered in the same building.
This also leads me to believe that Israel's claim that most of its intelligence comes from "traitors/agents" is a lie. The majority likely comes from cyber operations (hacking, surveillance, electronic spying)
Just like with Persians, lot of Israeli jews are of Yemeni background.
If Israel really relies on human agents, then it must have built a spy network inside Yemen remarkably quickly.
Keep in mind that a few osint sources from Iran found that Israeli assassination operations died down alot after Iran shut off internet access and jammed GPS signals
(GPS is still jammed in iran to this day)
The question is not what they can do to you, but what you can do to them. Israel will not stop until Iran and others show capability to their own such decapitation strikes.
Not necessarily quickly. Yemen, along with all the Muslim world, have been anti Israel since it's creation. And Yemen is also one of the poorest countries on the globe. Infiltrating it should have been easy.
Other findings
Israel Tracked Iranian Leaders via Bodyguards’ Phones During 12-Day War
During the 12-day war in June 2025, Israel successfully assassinated top Iranian nuclear scientists and commanders by exploiting a surprising vulnerability: the cellphones of their bodyguards.
Key Findings:
• Despite top officials not carrying phones, their security guards did, enabling Israeli intelligence to track their movements.
• On June 16, Israeli jets bombed a bunker in Tehran where Iran’s top leadership was meeting. Though no officials died, the attack exposed a major breach.
• Israel used a combination of hacked phones, satellite data, and electronic surveillance to guide its strikes.
• Bodyguards were active on social media and ignored security protocols — even after repeated warnings from Iran’s elite security unit, Ansar al-Mehdi.
• Iran has since arrested or detained dozens of suspected spies, including some high-ranking officials, and banned phone use by guards.
Operations Identified:
• Operation Red Wedding: Targeted Iranian military commanders.
• Operation Narnia: Focused on eliminating nuclear scientists.
• Israel’s “decapitation teams” selected high-value individuals from a list of 400 names, ultimately killing at least 30 senior commanders and 13 scientists.
Fallout:
• Iran acknowledged that Israel’s tech superiority and infiltration efforts have reached the highest levels of its government.
• President Pezeshkian narrowly survived the June 16 bunker strike and later described digging his way out of the debris with his bare hands.
• Iran’s internal response has been severe: 21 people arrested for Mossad ties, and even a nuclear scientist executed.
Israel’s campaign disrupted Iran’s leadership, weakened its nuclear program, and showcased how modern surveillance and cyberwarfare can devastate even well-guarded regimes.
