In a significant military development, a Houthi militia leader, along with several of his companions, was killed during a targeted operation by the National Resistance in Al Hudaydah. This event marks a critical loss for the Houthi group, particularly following their recent violations involving shelling civilian targets in the southern province.

Targeting the Houthi Leader

According to military reports, a unit from the Second Zaraniq Brigade successfully pinpointed the location of Houthi leader “Abdul Jiyash” in the Kida area, situated south of the Al-Jarahi district. The operation led to the deaths of Jiyash and several of his associates, as the National Resistance executed focused strikes that effectively neutralized their artillery and fire sources.

Response to Houthi Violations

In the days leading up to this operation, Jiyash and his group had intensified their assaults on civilian sites, employing mortar shells and attempting to breach military positions near the front lines. These violations presented a direct threat to security and stability in the region, prompting a decisive response from national forces.

Military sources confirmed that the valiant fighters of the Second Zaraniq Brigade delivered precise strikes to silence the fire sources of the Iranian-backed Houthi militias. This robust response underscores the National Resistance’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding civilian areas and enhancing regional security.

The national forces are focused on regaining control over territories affected by Houthi violations, reaffirming their steadfast determination to defend national sovereignty and ensure the stability of the country.
