A senior commander in the intelligence apparatus of the Houthi terrorist organization was eliminated this week in Sanaa along with one of his companions in a mysterious operation. According to reports, gunmen fired at his vehicle near the local airport and fled without their identity or the entity behind the operation being revealed. Following the incident, the Houthis deployed extensive security forces in the area, blocked several roads, and imposed strict measures to prevent information leaks. Sources in Yemen noted that the escalation in eliminations reflects the fragility of the organization's security system and the covert conflict between the various factions in the Iranian militia, which are struggling over influence, resources, and leadership positions. Saudi media has reported many targeted eliminations recently, both successful and unsuccessful, against Houthi commanders and militants. The success of the latest elimination, despite the extensive security around the senior figure, raises questions about the degree of Houthi control over their territories.
