Despite recent quiet, Israel has been providing high-quality intelligence to Saudi Arabia for weeks to aid in its fight against Houthi rebels in Yemen, according to security officials. This information flow has positioned Israel as a primary source for target intelligence in the ongoing conflict. A specific unit within Israel's military intelligence directorate is reportedly responsible for gathering and producing intelligence on the Houthi movement, which is then regularly shared with the Saudi army. The Saudis are making significant use of this intelligence in their combat operations. While both nations have maintained public silence on the matter, knowledgeable sources indicate substantial cooperation between the two sides on this issue.
