Douglas Macgregor, a former Pentagon advisor during Donald Trump’s administration, has claimed that a group of 70 Israeli Special Forces and American mercenaries were killed during a covert operation in Yemen.
Speaking in a recent interview, Col. Macgregor alleged that the group, primarily composed of Israelis, was detected by Russian satellites shortly after infiltrating Yemen. The information was reportedly relayed by Russia to Iran, who then informed the Houthis.
Macgregor stated, “The operation involved 70 personnel, including Israeli soldiers and some American mercenaries. After successfully infiltrating Yemen, they were likely tracked by Russian satellites. The Russians passed this intelligence to the Iranians, who immediately informed the Houthis via telegram.”
According to Macgregor, the group was ambushed and killed, with footage reportedly available of the aftermath.
He added that while most of the deceased were Israelis, some American mercenaries and possibly British contractors were also involved.
In response to Israel’s massacres in the Gaza Strip since October 7, the Houthis have targeted ships and Israeli vessels that pass through the Gulf of Aden and trade with Israel, putting trade in the Red Sea at risk. The coalition led by the U.S. and the U.K., with the support of Israel, is targeting the Houthis.
