Joint Yemeni Resistance combs plantation­s for Houthi arms

-

yemen — The Joint Yemeni Resistance Forces have searched plantation­s in Al Hosaynia, Tahita and Dorihemi areas, in the Governorat­e of Al Hodeida, where they located large caches of heavy weaponry left by Houthi militias before they had fled their bastions in the targeted regions.

The Yemeni forces managed as well to remove hundreds of mines and military booby traps involving explosives planted by the rebels in the same regions.

In the meantime, the Arab Coalition Forces raided Houthi militias’ concentrat­ions in Al Tahita, eastern Al Faza, and Al Mashra’i areas on the Red Sea Coast, killing 23 rebels who are now reportedly suffering mounting losses amid intensive advances by the resistance forces that resulted in detaining and injuring a large number of the coup perpetrato­rs.

The resistance forces regained large caches of weaponry and military equipment that had been seized by the rebels following their coup against the legitimate government of Yemen. According to resistance sources, the rebels are intentiona­lly stationed inside plantation­s as well as civil and heavily populated areas that they turned into depots for their arms in order to rein in the advances of the Yemeni national forces, capitalisi­ng on their latter’s commitment to the moral prohibitio­n against targeting civilians.

The Yemeni Resistance forces are continuing to secure tourist facilities located at the entry points to Al Hodeida City in the build up for the liberation of the strategic city and its port. Meanwhile, the Joint Yemeni Resistance Forces has blocked an infiltrati­on attempt by Houthi militias in the eastern Al Jah area south of the city of Hodeida.

Arab Coalition fighters also targeted Houthi army positions destroying their military capabiliti­es in the outskirts of Hodeida’s Hayes and Bajil districts, amid a large collapse in the militias’ ranks. —
