Joint Forces in Al Dhale'e have announced the successful repulsion of a large-scale Houthi militia offensive, resulting in the capture of several strategic positions and significant arms caches. Military sources confirmed that the Houthi militia launched an assault along multiple axes in the northwestern Al Dhale'e front. In response, the Joint Forces initiated a counter-offensive, achieving territorial gains and securing locations previously controlled by the militia. The Houthi attack reportedly targeted several lines of contact in the western Qa'tabah front. Defensive units, bolstered by the Southern Resistance, managed to contain the advance and compel the attackers to retreat. Following the Houthi militia's declaration of general mobilization, the Joint Forces deployed reinforcements to the combat zones. The counter-attack allowed the Joint Forces to penetrate areas under Houthi control and seize substantial quantities of weapons and ammunition. Sources indicated that among the captured items were weapons described as "specialized," with speculation that some may be of the models previously used by the Houthis in attacks targeting vital and civilian facilities within Saudi Arabia, though specific details regarding their type or quantity were not provided. The intensity of clashes has reportedly subsided in recent hours, with a cautious calm prevailing along the lines of contact after engagements that spanned the past two days. A military source noted casualties among the Joint Forces, with several personnel killed or wounded while repelling the attack, adding that the Houthi militia also sustained significant human losses, estimated to be in the dozens. |
