Intense battles and attacks… Houthi militia continues its violations in Taiz
An endless conflict in Yemen, and violations committed by the Houthi militia have become a normal occurrence that occurs on a daily basis, in light of a life of poverty, deteriorating health conditions, and continuity of crises as a result of the continuation of conflicts and the crimes of the Houthi militia against the Yemeni people and its rejection of the UN armistice in search of only Tehran’s interests in the region without regard to Yemeni people.
Military attack
The southern forces in Yemen announced that they have repelled a military attack by the Houthi militia in Dhale governorate. The army fought heavy battles in Ta’iz, where the Houthi militia used a number of modern weapons that it received from Tehran. The southern forces said that their unit, based in the sector “Hubail Yahya” to the northeast of Al Husha district in the north of Dhale governorate in the south, thwarted an infiltration attempt by the Houthi terrorist militia on several sites. According to the statement, “Houthi militia elements tried to infiltrate al-Hurra position under heavy fire cover from the militia’s artillery, but they quickly broke down and retreated under the bombardment of the southern forces”.
“We were able to monitor the infiltration process early on, and our forces directly targeted infiltrators, many of whom were killed and wounded,” he said. “Meanwhile, the militia is trying to hysterically strike in order to secure the withdrawal of its elements, but it has also received a deterrent response, putting down its weapons fire.”
Leniency of the international community
The Yemeni army confirmed it was engaged in fierce battles against the Houthi militia in the rural al-Sulu front in the north-eastern province of Taiz, which has been under a tight Houthi siege for years. The Yemeni army said the battles broke out with various types of weapons and coincided with the Houthi militia’s launch of a march in the area in an attempt to provide cover for its attacking fighters.
The Yemeni Defense Minister, Lieutenant General Mohsen Al-Daeiri, said that the leniency of the international community towards the Houthi terrorist militia constitutes a threat to stability in the region and the world. This came during a meeting of the Yemeni Defense Minister in the temporary capital at the American Democratic Institute delegation headed by the institute’s Middle East director, Leslie Campbell, to coordinate efforts and strengthen cooperation in the fight against terrorism and extremism, according to the Yemeni Ministry of Defense. “We are fighting a war against an enemy that threatens everyone, and you are the first to leave Yemen preemptively because of the war imposed by the Houthi terrorist group,” he said. “This was done with Iranian support, planning, co-operation and co-ordination with the terrorist organizations ISIS and al-Qaeda.”
Humanitarian disasters
Mohammed Jumaih, a Yemeni political analyst, said the crimes committed by the Houthi militia in Yemen are numerous. He said the extremist militia is responsible for a number of humanitarian disasters in the country, then traded those disasters and invested them politically and economically in their favor.
Other crimes include targeting civilians and civilian facilities with ballistic missiles and drones in Yemen, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, he said, adding that besieging cities and suffocating roads with collection points and customs, which are spread over all roads, kidnapping civilians and hiding them in secret prisons and torturing them to death are all crimes that the whole world knows the Houthis are committing on a daily basis, stressing that the most dangerous is the brainwashing of children with sectarian issues that incite hatred and sectarian conflict, all of which are violations of Houthis in Yemen as a whole, and Taiz in particular, where the country is experiencing harsh suffering under international silence.
