In an unprecedented move, the Israeli military has begun recruiting Yemeni Jews into its Military Intelligence Directorate (AMAN) to leverage their deep understanding of the Yemeni dialect and tribal customs to infiltrate the Houthi Ansar Allah group, which has become a strategic threat to Israel in the region.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to enlist Yemeni Jews stems from the intelligence challenges Israel faces in gathering precise information about the Houthis and their military movements. Known for their strict security discipline, the Houthis rely on a robust internal intelligence network, making it difficult for external agents to penetrate their ranks. For this reason, Israel believes that utilizing Jews of Yemeni origin, who are fluent in Arabic and familiar with Yemen&#8217;s tribal dynamics, could provide a more effective pathway to accessing sensitive information about the group and its activities.<\/p>\n<p>Reports indicate that the Yemeni Jewish recruits have undergone intensive training within specialized Israeli military units. These training programs include intelligence-gathering techniques, covert operations within tribal communities, and cyber warfare targeting the Houthis\u2019 digital infrastructure. Recruits have also been trained in sowing rumors and fostering divisions within the group, with the aim of destabilizing it and weakening its ability to carry out attacks against Israel and its allies in the region.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7299\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7299 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Houthis-threaten-with-unexpected-operations-soon-1024x650.jpg\" alt=\"The Houthis\" width=\"1024\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Houthis-threaten-with-unexpected-operations-soon-1024x650.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Houthis-threaten-with-unexpected-operations-soon-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Houthis-threaten-with-unexpected-operations-soon-768x487.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Houthis-threaten-with-unexpected-operations-soon-150x95.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Houthis-threaten-with-unexpected-operations-soon-450x286.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Houthis-threaten-with-unexpected-operations-soon-1200x761.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Houthis-threaten-with-unexpected-operations-soon.jpg 1464w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Houthis operations in the Red Sea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Israel is betting on this strategy to tighten the noose around the Houthis, especially as American pressure on Tel Aviv continues to mount to find a resolution to the escalating crisis in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2024\/02\/27\/red-sea-communication-cable-disruption-accusations-against-houthis-and-criticism-from-yemeni-activists\/\"> the Red Sea<\/a>.
