Sources in the Houthi group told Sheba Intelligence that they do not rule out Israeli or American retaliatory attacks in response to the missiles and drones the group fired at Israel over the past few days.

 

The sources confirmed that the Houthi forces began deploying defensive systems in several areas expected to be targeted, especially coastal and border areas from which the group fired the missiles and drones.

 

Sheba Intelligence obtained information about the Houthi group’s installation of a radar network in the mountains surrounding the capital, Sana’a

 

A military source said, "Iranian experts were able to maintain the radar network that belonged to the Republican Guard during the days of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, and it is of French origin. The radar network began to operate in the past 24 hours to discover threats "

 

Sheba Intelligence expected retaliatory strikes on the Houthi military sites and equipment after the US military announced on October 19 that it shot down drones and missiles coming from Yemen.

 

The Iran-backed Houthis expressed support for the Palestinians and threatened to attack Israel with missiles and drones. Houthi military and civilian leaders have begun moving from their routine places to avoid being targeted, informed sources said.
