An Israeli attack near the village of Mapadon in the Nabatean area killed Hezbollah activist Ibrahim Ali Tubes today. Separately, an Israeli strike on Thursday eliminated approximately 20 senior Houthi officials, including those responsible for military operations, according to reports. The Houthi officials killed in the Thursday attack were senior executives involved in military and security matters, contradicting earlier reports that only political leaders were targeted. Among the deceased was a deputy minister responsible for the Houthi military power building and for military operations, as stated by senior officials. The IDF estimates that some senior officials may still be buried under rubble, with identities not yet fully verified. The Houthi leadership is reportedly attempting to conceal the identities of some of those killed. The attack was executed rapidly following the establishment of an intelligence-operational organization within the UAV a few weeks prior, which integrated various intelligence capabilities aimed at eliminating Houthi leadership. Two officers in the Division of the Division were behind the assault, with one officer, in the rank of SAL, leading the operation on his last day in office, according to background information. Senior officials described the assault as reflecting an intelligence-operational capability previously unimaginable, capable of striking senior conventions within a 2,000 km radius in a timely manner, characterizing it as the capability of a regional power. The Houthi officials targeted were not only political elders and ministers from civilian fields but also senior executives responsible for military and security issues.
