Sanaa forces have taken control of additional parts of Lahj Governorate in the Al-Madaribah and Al-Aarah areas
2026-11-12


Translated Text:

Southern Yemen is ablaze now

Sanaa forces have taken control of additional parts of Lahj Governorate in the Al-Madaribah and Al-Aarah areas, while the Salafi Giants Forces are withdrawing en masse toward the east and south.

The encirclement of the Giants Forces at Dhobab Airport will be completed, and within hours or days they will effectively be prisoners.

The legitimate government forces must secure the safety of their soldiers and young men, who are dying for nothing because of a battle they recklessly started.

With today's withdrawals and the developments over the past week, it can be said that Operation Dawn of Yemen has become Operation Decisive Storm, and both have seen major losses for the Saudi coalition and the Yemeni forces allied with it.

It seems that Sanaa forces want to improve their negotiating position, so they are pressing to take control of Lahj to secure a strong negotiating position on the one hand, and to punish the Salafi Giants militias for moving north out of the south on the other.

I was talking to a friend and told him that the Giants Forces had suffered a major military blow from which they would not recover for years, and that all the effort, armament, and training over the past five years had gone to waste. What the Gulf states built in five years was destroyed in 30 days.
