The Anti-Smuggling Unit in Taiz province, in cooperation with Al-Rahda Customs Center, successfully thwarted an attempt to smuggle a shipment of foreign garlic concealed in a "Shas" pickup truck.
Muhammad Al-Jabri, Director of Al-Rahda Customs Center, told the Yemeni News Agency (SABA) that the seized garlic amounted to 230 bags, with each bag weighing approximately 10 kilograms.
He emphasized that smuggling operations pose a serious threat to the national economy and harm local producers, warning that the continued smuggling of agricultural products jeopardizes national food security.

Iranian 'Cyber Support Front' announces attack on Israeli Weapons of mass destruction factory
Tehran – SABA: The Iranian 'Cyber Support Front' announced on Saturday that it had carried out a cyberattack on an Israeli factory involved in producing weapons of mass destruction. In a statement reported by Iran's Tasnim News Agency, the front said it had monitored and infiltrated the CR Casting / EXACT company for a long time—companies that have supported the Zionist criminals in the manufacturing of weapons of mass destruction. The statement added: 'CR Casting and its affiliated factories are involved in precision metal casting and production of sensitive components for the military and defense industries, including companies like Elbit, Rafael, and IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries), which are associated with the Zionist entity. They manufacture parts used in offensive and defensive missiles, tanks, helicopters, and Israeli aircraft that are used in brutal attacks on civilians.' It continued: 'With support from freedom-fighting hackers around the world, the front managed to expose these factories and their inhumane activities, launching multiple cyberattacks to penetrate, disrupt their systems and production, and obtain their sensitive data.'
