National Resistance Thwarts Houthi Infiltration Attempt in South Hodeidah

The National Resistance announced early Sunday that it had thwarted an infiltration attempt by Houthi militias targeting its positions in Jabal Dhabas, south of Hodeidah Governorate, following clashes between the two sides.

The military media of the National Resistance reported that its units detected movements by Houthi militia gunmen in front of the positions of the 14th Infantry Brigade in the Jabal Dhabas sector. The resistance forces engaged and directly clashed with the infiltrators.

The clashes concluded with the Houthi elements being compelled to retreat and flee the area after sustaining direct casualties. The National Resistance did not provide specific figures for the losses incurred by the militia.

The southern Hodeidah fronts periodically witness intermittent confrontations, with continued infiltration attempts and reciprocal shelling between the joint forces and the Houthi militias. This occurs despite the UN-brokered truce, which has reduced the intensity of military operations compared to previous years.
