ISRAEL Thought Its Yemen SPIES Were Safe — HOUTHIS Broke It Open

Israel thought a Saudi-based, CIA-linked covert spy network would stay buried. Well the Houthis just tore it to shreds! Right, so the CIA, Mossad and Saudi intelligence tried to run another spy ring in Yemen — and got rinsed again. The operation was called “Their Schemes Will Fail.” They should’ve taken the hint. Yemen’s Interior Ministry dropped the statement on 8 November, naming names, naming countries, and naming the Saudi soil it was run from. Twenty-one arrests, a public trial, and three humiliated foreign agencies pretending not to have heard. No denial from Washington. No comment from Riyadh. No surprise in Sanaa. The network was meant to choke Yemen’s support for Palestine; instead, it turned into the latest proof that Western and Gulf power can’t even keep a secret any more. The spies came to map Yemen. Yemen mapped them. That’s not espionage. That’s karma — in a file stamped “classified” and left wide open. When will they ever learn that the Houthis can always see them coming? Right, so Yemen didn’t break this story quietly and why should they? It dropped it like a hammer. On the 8th of November the Ministry of the Interior in Sanaa went public: a multi-phase security operation had torn down a spy network linked to three – not just one - three of the most powerful intelligence services in the world — the CIA, Mossad and Saudi Arabia’s General Intelligence Presidency. The code name was “Their Schemes Will Fail.” The name stuck because it did. The Ministry said the joint operations room was based inside Saudi territory, running multiple small autonomous cells inside Yemen, trained and supplied by American, Israeli and Saudi officers. Twenty-one defendants are already in court in Sanaa. The charges: espionage, sabotage, and collaboration with foreign states. The Interior Ministry described the operation as the culmination of months of surveillance and infiltration. Agents had tracked the communication links back across the border. They said the network was responsible for providing targeting data, disrupting domestic communications, and collecting details of missile and drone programmes. The pattern fits the old Saudi-US pipeline from 2015 onwards — foreign signals intelligence gathered in Riyadh, human assets inside Yemen feeding it live coordinates. The same structure the Houthis have been unpicking for nearly a decade now.
