Text: Slowly but surely, the Taiz-based Popular Resistance @YemenResistanc1, which played a key role in fighting the Houthis in 2014 and 2015, appears to be reemerging as an organized force on the battlefield. Videos released from the front show Popular Resistance fighters supporting Yemeni government forces around Jabal Qarfan, a strategic height overlooking Al-Wazi’iyah southwest of Taiz. Resistance claim their forces and the army secured the mountain and made additional gains around Al-Miyhal on the Al-Kadhah front and Jabal Qarfan on the Jardad front. Popular Resistance fighters also reportedly shot down a Houthi drone on the Al-Kadhah front. The renewed mobilization is also becoming increasingly visible among local communities. Thousands reportedly attended the funeral today of Omar Adel Abdulmalik al-Sanawi, a Popular Resistance fighter killed Monday while supporting government forces in Taiz. Resistance leaders say five of their fighters have been killed and 13 wounded during the latest fighting. |
