Talk:Alleged Israeli involvement in Yemen

As yet I have not found (in english language searches) the sources ISWNews reports above. --Diagonal (talk) 11:32, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

I do not see why there would be such evidence; the page should be alleged involvement, if at all. Official Israeli policy is not interfering in others affairs (Israeli ambassador statement in interview to Pozner, Russian prime time TV). Unofficially, they will still not interfere for the sake of interfering, and claims to the contrary in Arab and leftist media (including Israeli leftist media) is pandering to their consumers ingrained beliefs that Jews secretly rule the word, or their leftist agendas, and may well have nothing to do with reality at all. I can imagine that the State of Israel does something against factual or perceived Iranian schemes, or responds to wishes of its allies (like in Suez crisis), or that some private ex-militaries are happy to make money out of war (and this is not limited to any country or any ethnicity, evidenced by multiple well-known international PMC groups). But I do not believe that as a state they will waist moneys and lives for others' wars, or divert resources away from their own security; why on earth they would do it? Any recent noise may have to do with the fact that a small Arab-Israeli party was a tie-breaker in yet another hung elections; but I was not really following what might have transpired. --Resup (talk) 12:59, 10 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Well its mostly speculation but, Israel has normalized relations with UAE and Saudi, tends to work in tandem with US and UK, all of which are involved. It perceives Ansarallah as a security threat and will not be disinterested over threats to its allies shipping around Bab al Mandeb. It seems to make sense that they would want a sigint capacity on Socotra. Also I guess that its defence technology sector will have an intereste in the drone warfare taking place there --Diagonal (talk) 14:42, 10 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Houthis to 'expose Mossad's activities in Yemen' after detaining agent - Middle East Monitor, June 9, 2021
 * Houthis claim they arrested a Mossad spy in Yemen - Tvzi Joffre, Jerusalem Post, June 9, 2021

Yemeni "Mossad agent" announcement talks something about 1970's ---I could not get what exactly. It may be then this man (or how many Mossad agents are out there in Yemen since the 70's? A "ripper"(?), morgue worker, ex cemetery worker in Sudan, "almost perfect" ?) These days, can't you see from satellites anything which an agent there could report? Why to keep a troublemaker all the way from the 70's? A big question in a confession is whether it is genuine; it is being said that there are techniques to have almost anybody to say anything. (No clue on actual circumstances) --Resup (talk) 01:17, 10 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Confusing translations to English from Yemeni sources are quite common and several agencies have apparently reportedly this as being a live matter.


 * The documentary relates to incidents in 1972. The North Yemeni authorities discovering an Israeli agent gathering intel. It's of historical relevance in showing the Israeli interest in controlling Bab Al Mandeb and the south of the Red Sea in that period of its conflict with Egypt and other Arab states.


 * There was a recent trial of informants accused of working for UK, US intel. According to Sana'a the informants would be sent whatsapp msgs of pins on google maps. They were tasked with checking out the sites to see whether 'houthis' were active there in someway or not. See Talk:UK role in Yemen conflict--Diagonal (talk) 16:49, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
