On 2 October, الحرة attributed to unnamed Iraqi intelligence sources an allegation that Houthis had expanded their Iraqi presence through offices and coordination sites shared with Iraqi armed factions, alongside drone- and missile-related activity. The sources placed part of that presence in Jurf al-Sakhar, which they described as controlled by Kataib Hezbollah, and identified religious, social and economic offices in Baghdad, Karbala, Najaf, Maysan, Muthanna, Wasit, Babil and Diyala. آخر خبر reproduced the report with the same source attribution; the shared-site and weapons-related allegations remain unverified.

“Sources close to the file, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, indicated that part of the presence is concentrated in Jurf al-Sakhar south of Baghdad, which is under Kataib Hezbollah control.”
وأشارت المصادر القريبة من الملف شريطة عدم الكشف عن هويتها لأنها غير مخولة بالحديث للإعلام إلى أن جانبا من الوجود يتركز في منطقة جرف الصخر جنوبي بغداد، وهي خاضعة لسيطرة كتائب حزب الله
The report distinguishes shared coordination sites and weapons-related activity from religious, social and economic offices; those are different forms of alleged involvement and should not be treated as interchangeable evidence of combat participation.
