Yemeni sources reported Friday that the Houthis have begun reducing monthly salaries for their terrorists and withholding portions of their commissions.
According to the sources, each frontline operative now receives only 15,000 Yemeni rials (about $61). The terror organization fears that some operatives might abandon the frontline following reports of an approaching ground offensive by forces affiliated with the pro-Saudi Yemeni government.
Overnight, reports emerged of another series of US attacks on Houthi sites in Yemen. The strikes targeted weapons depots in Sanaa province, positions in Al-Hudaydah province, and headquarters in Marib province. In recent days, the US has struck 13 Houthi communication stations across the provinces of Al-Hudaydah, Ibb, Saada, Amran, and Al-Bayda. These operations aim to disrupt the organization's command and control network.
Despite these setbacks, Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi stated in his speech Thursday that his forces conducted seven launches of drones and ballistic missiles toward Israel this week, including targets in the Haifa and Eilat areas.
In a related development, the US military announced Thursday that the explosion near a UNESCO heritage site in Sanaa last Sunday was caused by a Houthi missile, not an American attack. The incident in the old city killed 12 people.
