| At the strategically vital Mount Dhabas, the Houthis seek to control for the superiority it grant |

Translated Text: When the joint forces were stationed at Kilometer 10, Fifty, and the Ring Road in the city of Hodeidah, the Houthis amassed thousands of fighters over years, launched dozens of successive attacks, and expended vast quantities of lives and equipment in attempts to advance mere tens or hundreds of meters, yet they failed to achieve any progress and suffered countless losses. And today, the same scene is repeating itself on the Hays front, specifically at the strategically vital Mount Dhabas, which the Houthis seek to control for the superiority it grants in dominating the Hays district and which also overlooks the coasts of Al-Khokha and the Red Sea. For this reason, they continue to push forward with hordes and launch repeated attacks, but each time they collide with the resilience of the fighters and the thwarting of their advance attempts. Dozens of bodies remain strewn since days ago in the vicinity of Mount Dhabas after the Houthis proved unable to retrieve them, while they persist in mustering more sons of the districts into the grinder and hurling them onto the front with no return. By Sim al-Janani Houthis killed 14 Yemeni government troops in attack south of Hodeidah, official says [IsraelTimes] Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels killed 14 troops in an attack south of the port city of Hodeidah, a military official aligned with the country’s internationally-recognized government says. The official says pro-government forces had repelled the attack in Hays district, south of Hodeidah, in “clashes lasting for several hours at dawn on Saturday.” He adds “fighting resulted in dead and wounded among (Houthi) ranks,” without specifying the number killed in the opposing force. The Houthis have been at war with the government since 2015 in a conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and triggered a major humanitarian crisis in Yemen. The rebels control Yemen’s capital Sanaa and much of the north, including Hodeidah on Yemen’s western Red Sea coast, while the internationally recognized government holds much of the south. The fighting between the two sides has largely been frozen since a UN-negotiated truce in 2022. But on Friday the Houthis threatened airports and vital assets belonging to Saudi Arabia, a key backer of Yemen’s Aden-based government. The rebel group, part of Iran’s “axis of resistance” against Israel and the United States, accused the kingdom of trying to stop an Iranian plane from landing. |
