Investigation Platform: US raids targeted Houthi military sites inside mountain caves in Amran

The "Icad" platform revealed that four military sites belonging to the Houthi militia were exposed inside mountain caves in Amran Governorate (northern Yemen) on November 10 and 11.

The open source intelligence platform said that Amran Governorate was subjected to American and British raids - according to the Houthi narrative - on November 10 and 11, which targeted Houthi sites in Harf Sufyan District.

ICAD explained that it followed satellite images and open intelligence sources to determine the damage that occurred, and several changes appeared in mountainous locations within the Sufyan Directorate.

She added: “We at ICAD tracked the satellite images taken by Sentinel Hub between October 31 and November 15 (i.e. before and after the attack) and we found 4 sites inside the mountains that were bombed.”

She added, "This damage appeared consecutively on November 10 and 11, meaning that the American attacks hit the same points during both operations."

"ICAD" noted that by returning to Google Maps of the same area, but before the attack, it appeared to us that the targeted sites were located within a mountain range, with traces that were likely tunnels or missile launch sites.

On November 10 and 11, the Houthi militia announced an air strike .Two and seven raids, respectively, targeted unspecified locations in Harf Sufyan District in Amran Governorate, as part of a series of raids targeting Sana'a and Sa'dah Governorates.

On Sunday, November 11, the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) announced that its fighter jets launched several airstrikes on Saturday night on advanced weapons storage facilities belonging to the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen.

A US defense official said the weapons were used to attack military and civilian ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, according to Agence France-Presse.

Since the beginning of this year, the United States of America has been launching air strikes targeting the Houthi military capabilities, in response to the attacks launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia on cargo ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, which it says are in support of Gaza, which has been subjected to an Israeli war of extermination since the beginning of October 2023.
