Israel shares intelligence with Saudi Arabia as strikes weaken Houthis

The Jerusalem Post·22 October 2026

A defence official confirmed that the Israeli military continues to assist Saudi Arabia with intelligence while Saudi strikes degrade Houthi military capabilities in Yemen, giving Israel useful intelligence in return. The reported cooperation shows Israel and Saudi Arabia acting together against an Iran-aligned force, even without formal ties. It is a concrete sign of shifting regional alignments, though the report gives few operational details and the Israeli military is also preparing for possible escalation.
