According to local media reports, several explosions occurred at the Israeli regime’s intelligence base in the Dahlak Archipelago off the coast of Eritrea.

The cause of these explosions has not yet been determined, but it is possible that the Israeli intelligence base was attacked by drones and missiles by the Yemeni Armed Forces.

The Dahlak Islands are part of an archipelago off the coast of Eritrea that is uninhabited and the supervision of these islands was ceded to the Israeli regime by former Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki in the 1990s.

Afwerki took this step because of the tension he had with Yemen over the Hanish Islands and called on the Tel Aviv regime to support his government against possible Yemeni attacks on Eritrea.

Since 2016, the Israeli regime has set up a large database on the Emba Soira Mountains, 135 kilometers south of the Eritrean capital Asmara. With 3,018 meters height, Mount Emba Soira is the highest mountain in Eritrea.

The purpose of this base is to monitor the Red Sea and maritime traffic, and to have full control over the Bab al-Mandab Strait and intelligence control over the Yemeni coast.

Undoubtedly, the role of this intelligence base during the recent tension between Israel and Yemen has become more prominent than before, and the recent actions of the Israeli special unit against Yemen are commanded and controlled from this base.

    Israel should step aside from Eritrea! Eritrea is undemocratic country under cruel regime, Israel by staying there are prolonging the agony of Eritreans people not helping them. Eritrea should have a healthy relationship with its neighbors including Yemen without Israel interfering!
