Iranian-backed Houthi militias continue to receive slaps day after day, from the Yemeni army forces backed by the popular resistance in the western coast and Hodeidah, as the joint forces launched attacks on three fronts at one time, during which the terrorist militia incurred dozens of dead and wounded, as well as destroying equipment and seizures on weapons.

The Yemeni forces managed to liberate the Qaisin area of ​​the Khub and Al-Sha`f district north of Al-Jawf governorate, northeast of the country.

In spite of the terrorist militia’s attempts to return its remnants in Al-Husayniyah farms in the Directorate of Beit Al-Faqih, south of Al-Hodeidah, and to push dozens of its elements to new tunnels and bunkers in farms east of the strategic Al-Jah region, the reconnaissance units in the joint forces monitored the gatherings of infiltrators and their armories as soon as they were armed, and quickly they were destroyed by direct strikes by the combined forces stationed in those locations.

According to media reports, the legal forces supported by the tribes continued their advance in the Hub and Al Sha`f Front, seizing 6 military vehicles and ten crews, four-wheel drive vehicles and weapons, and more than 16 were captured in the opposite attack they launched against the militia.

In the Qaniya Front in Al-Bayda Governorate, the militia incurred heavy losses of life and equipment at the hands of the army forces supported by the tribes, and the militia leader was captured in the front, and holds the rank of major general, called Hamza Saleh Al-Wehbi.

Reports said that the fighting between the two sides reached a direct confrontation, face to face, in Masouda Mountain, where the army forces recovered all the sites that were in the hands of the Houthi militia.

In the “Sarwah Front” west of Ma’rib Governorate, specifically in Helan and Al-Muja`f, violent confrontations took place between the militia and the army, with the support of coalition fighters, as the army forces managed to drive the militia out of the locations where it had advanced during the past two days, most notably Al-Shafi’i and Al-Khattab, and more twenty militia elements were killed during Thursday’s fighting.

The media center of the Yemeni Armed Forces released a video of the joint forces after they were defeated by the coup militia in Qaniya Front, north of Al Bayda Governorate, in the center of the country.

The center pointed out that the battles are continuing on the fronts of Sarwah, Al-Mukhdarah and Qaniyah, amid the retreat of the Houthi militia and collapses in its ranks, according to the official website of the Yemeni army.

He stressed that the battles coincided with intense shelling of the army’s artillery, and raids of the fighters of the Alliance for Legitimacy Support on the positions and reinforcements of the Houthi militia, which resulted in heavy losses of life and equipment.

Another clip was published on the fierce battles the joint forces are fighting against the Houthi militia in the Sarwah front, west of Marib Governorate.

The Commander of the “117th Infantry Brigade” Brigadier General Ahmed Hussein al-Naqah said that the National Army forces managed to liberate the sites of “Tabab, Al-Soud”, “Al-Makhbi” and “Al-Khirba”, in the Al-Yisabel area of ​​the Qaniya Front, stressing the continuation of the battle amid the advance of the army forces and the collapse of the militia Houthi escaping.

In response to these defeats, the Houthi coup militia targeted the indiscriminate shelling of the citizens’ homes in the villages of Qaniya in the Al-Bayda Governorate, wounding two children with various injuries.

In a parallel context, the terrorist militia continues to prevent thousands of residents from returning to their areas under their control, after they were left in the open, including patients, children and women, under the pretext of quarantine, amid reports that the militia requested funds from the detainees to release them.

Despite calls by organizations and activists to end the suffering of thousands of returning travelers from abroad, or from areas controlled by Sharia, and the health authorities’ assertion that all returnees from abroad were subjected to medical tests, confirmed that there was no infection with the Corona virus, the Houthi militia continues to humiliate travelers, even those coming from the provinces that are under the jurisdiction of the legitimate government.

Travelers across Lahj governorate stated that dozens of cars and passenger buses are still being held in a valley near the Haifan district, on the borders of Taiz Governorate, where the Houthi militia blocked the road, prevented people from passing, and left them sleeping on the land or sitting in buses and cars, without any food or water, as travelers have to go to nearby villages, to obtain food or water.

The militia continues to detain hundreds of travelers in Al-Bayda governorate, most of whom are returning from Umrah, as it has rented a popular, poorly furnished break and services and forced travelers to stay there, and has only given them small sponges.
