The security services announced that the spies were recruited to work on behalf of the US and Israel, noting that they belong to an intelligence entity called Force 400 led by a wanted spy, Ammar Afash.
The security services indicated that the arrested spies confessed to carrying out operations to monitor missile launch sites, drones, and the locations of Yemeni armed forces boats and to provide their coordinates to Force 400 for the purpose of targeting by US and UK warplanes.
As a result of the spies' actions, several members of the armed forces were killed and injured, in addition to material losses.
Likewise, the security services confirmed that, according to their confessions, the spies were entrusted with carrying out sabotage operations, including damaging and burning vehicles belonging to the armed and security forces.
The spies were also tasked with preparing to carry out assassination operations using silencer pistols and explosive materials to create diversions for the armed forces attempting to respond to the ongoing US and UK bombing campaign.
The security services reiterated that they will spare no effort to maintain the internal security of Yemen and prevent attempts by elements working for the US and Israel to infiltrate the country.
SABA noted that Sanaa has warned the US and UK against using mercenaries to destabilize Yemen and put pressure on the country to cease its support for Palestinians in Gaza.
In November, the Ansarallah-led Yemeni armed forces began targeting Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea in response to Israel's genocide in Gaza that began in October.
The US and UK responded by deploying ships to the Red Sea to protect Israeli ships and began a bombing campaign to target Yemeni forces on land and sea.
The Yemeni armed forces announced on 3 May the start of the "fourth phase" of escalation against Israel and in support of Palestine, threatening to target Israeli-linked ships "anywhere within our reach." Sanaa highlighted in a statement that the attacks, which have successfully locked Israel out of the Red Sea, will expand to the Mediterranean Sea. Earlier this year, the Yemeni armed forces expanded the scope of their pro-Palestine operations to include the Indian Ocean, already severely affecting the Israeli economy.
The statement from the Ansarallah-led government also warns Tel Aviv against launching their assault on the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, saying that, with immediate effect, any ships "linked to the provision of supplies and entry into the Palestinian ports under occupation" would be subject to "severe penalties." The statement stresses that these ships will not be allowed to "sail through the area of military operations, regardless of their destination."
The escalation was announced by armed forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree before hundreds of thousands of Yemenis who continue to gather in the capital every week to show their support for the Palestinians in Gaza.
Comment: Countries like Turkey and Iran seem to be slowly but surely routing Israel's nefarious influence, meanwhile, over in the West, politicians and institutions appear to be so overwhelmingly compromised, or brainwashed, that they're willing to sacrifice their homeland to further Tel Aviv's genocidal goals:
