The judicial source pointed out that the arrested person admitted during his interaction with his dealings with the Mossad, and that he provided them with information about the Houthi group in Yemen, taking advantage of being a resident of Sanaa, and he also admitted that Israeli intelligence instructed him to collect information about the presence of possible Houthi leaders in Lebanon after moving to Beirut about two months ago.

The source pointed out that the timing of his contacts coincided with the Israeli and American strikes that targeted the Houthis, and confirmed that he expressed his satisfaction with these strikes, considering the Houthis "the cause of Yemen's calamity and the killing of thousands of innocents" since their coup against the state. He also pointed out that the detainee was working individually, in a style that Israel was relying on to recruit agents in a non -retainable manner. He issued an arrest warrant for him based on the prosecution materials.
