The Houthis in al-Bayda’ province after having captured a large territory from ISIS
The Houthis’ media wing has released a video documenting the group’s recent operation against ISIS and al-Qaeda terrorists in the central Yemeni province of al-Bayda’. Brig. Gen. Yahya Sari, a spokesman for the group, presented the video via teleconference on August 21. The spokesman also shared new details of the operation.
During the operation, which lasted for two weeks, the Houthis killed, captured or injured around 250 terrorists of ISIS and al-Qaeda. The group’s fighters also destroyed fourteen positions and military camps of the terrorists, liberating 1,000 km2 of the district of Wald Rabi’.
“Among those killed there were five commanders of ISIS, including the group’s leader [in Wald Rabi’] as well as the security and financial officials,” Brig. Gen. Sari said.
According to Brig. Gen. Sari, the terrorists were supporting Saudi-led coalition operations in al-Bayda. The terrorists also received support from the coalition.
“We found complete information and evidence confirming that these elements had carried out various operations during the past years in more than one Yemeni region,” the spokesman said, adding: “We also obtained evidence confirming that the Takfiris [terrorists] were coordinating with other elements in Arab and foreign states.”
The video released by the Houthis confirms that coalition warplanes provided the terrorists with close air support during their battle with the Houthis in Wald Rabi’. The video shows close combat between Houthi fighters and the terrorists as well as loads of weapons and equipment which were seized by the Yemeni group.
Brig. Gen. Sari said the operation was launched after extensive intelligence work. The operation was carried out in cooperation with local tribes from Wald Rabi’ as well as tribes from the nearby district of al-Qurashiyah.
The operation dealt a major blow to ISIS and al-Qaeda remnants in al-Bayda’. The two terrorist groups have been solidifying their influence in the central province since the outbreak of the war in 2015. The Saudi-led coalition rarely took action against them.
Houthis are gaining, Saudisis draining :)
Indeed, the Saudi military has totally disinterested in Yemen, the Ansarallah are now operating in traditionally Wahhabi central tribal lands and have created alliances.
Ansar Allah is unstoppable force! They will liberate Yemen !
Marib this month, Taiz and Aden by the end of the year, no Russian politics here, just go with full speed! Idk about Syria anymore ?
Why again jumping on Russians Kennny even when we talk about Yemen?! Strength of SAA is seriously reduced because they do not have direct support of Iran who is in VERY good relations with the Turkey maybe even much more than Russia will ever be. SAA can’t mount serious ground offensive at all without support of “allays”! And that is the ugly truth yet everybody is using Russia as regular scapegoat! Syria must start fight of resistance against Amercunts as soon as possible with IED”s and similar…And wait with Idlib for the time being maybe for some better situatiion. Because Russia will help with the bombings during offensive but SAA are now on their own in Idlib without Hezbollah and Iranians if they want to start something…
What is Russia’s role in Yemen anyway?
non existent as far as I know..
It looks like a treasure trove of ISIS equipment and obviously an ISIS command and control hub. I am sure that the information gleaned from the documents and laptops will expose a trail to their sponsors.
As you rightly say, the Houthis are unstoppable. They are magnificent warriors.
So ISIS called Saudi air strike to civer their retreat?
No, I just wanted to be sure.
Hooray for the Fremen! Down with the House of Harkonnen!
the Saudi scum isis guy is coming from Al-Qassim Region, Buraidah city
When do you respond like you promised shia terrorist? time to wipe you all out for good like we should have done many years ago.
Dare to strike Yemen zionist terrorist, you will see Eliat burn
they brutally rape a 16 year old girl—despicable
lol, Houthis will be vaporized just like their other shia terroristic friends. We are not KSA or UAE, when we go to a war we wipe out everything.
Just like the fire balloon launchers?
We told Hamas leaders 2 days ago that if they don’t stop then we are going to target their heads, suddenly they calmed down and asked for negotiations. You see how your son of a bitches understand? only by threats. I do hope however they refuse, it’s time to clean the Gaza Strip from these filth with a ground operation. https://www.israelhayom.com/2020/08/19/report-security-escalation-may-prompt-israel-to-resume-targeted-assassinations-of-hamas-officials/
What a stupid excuse, so instead of 60 balloon fires they now cause 30, you sure stopped it! Also, I wouldn’t target their heads.. https://twitter.com/IsraelGazaICN/status/1297050632671526914?s=20
Very good, let them respond. Gazans will pay the most not Hamas, we will flatten every place that shoots rockets. Hezbollah better watch it and take notes, they are next.
HUSH stupid CUNT :)
Nice combat footage of the Houthi light infantry and their fire support: T-62 and T-55 tanks, BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle (30 mm. gin). KPV 14.5 mm. machinegun and an M-163 Vulcan 20 mm. AA gun on a pickup truck.
SAA watch and learn from these brave warriors.
