the escalation promised by Ansarullah has become more and more practical. After the ballistic missiles hit the Saudi depth on different ranges and targets, the Yemeni fighters launched attacks on the southern front of the Kingdom, where the latter lost sites and important mountains

Saudi Arabia failed to destroy the Yemeni missile systems because of a proactive step by Ansarullah

The past two days have witnessed major changes in the field that have brought the Yemeni-Saudi confrontation deep into the kingdom, which has lost a number of its strategic camps to major and important mountains. The operation is qualitative, extensive and complex, as described by military sources, which confirmed that it was carried out according to a plan that is closely related to the complexities of the field that the Saudi army has laid behind since the launching of the strategic mountain battles in Jizan a year and a half ago.

In the past few days, Yemeni forces have taken control of three mountains (the epic, the valleys and the haraam) and dozens of sites and barracks. The operation ended with the control of al-Jabri camp, one of the most important Saudi army camps south of Jizan.

The success of the Yemeni fighters in controlling the epic mountain paved the way to reach all the Saudi positions at the bottom of the mountain and on its foot, leading to the supervision of new areas of the province of plowing the budget. These areas were before the last operation free from the fire of Yemeni fighters medium and light.

And the epic of the most important strategic mountains in the map of the battles, which is basically Yemeni, but Saudi Arabia and annexed to its territory after the «revolution» 2011, which earned the Saudi forces the advantages of the field multiple and facilitated the process of protecting dozens of military positions down the mountain to the west or on the foot towards The city of Khashl in the east.

According to military sources, who participated in the operation, Yemeni forces completed the mission “in a relatively short period compared to the area under control, in about twelve hours, making this process the shortest and most extensive in the history of Yemeni fighters fighting with the Saudi army.” In detail, after controlling the epic, both the Ghawiya and the Hilla were dropped, and then the strategic Jabri camp, which is of varying importance depending on the number of Saudi barracks located in or overlooking it.

It should be noted that Al Ghawiya is a large area that includes a residential village and hill hills with an average height that runs from the end of Mount El-Fida until the beginning of Mount Dod. As for Mount El-Frayah, it is important for its geographical structure because it is composed of a group of highlands situated in the Saudi depth and supervising a number of villages (Ka’ab al-Jabri, Abadiya, Qaim Zabid and others).

The Saudi army established a new camp in Jabri in 2010 after the end of the sixth war, which took control of the movement «Ansar Allah» on the area of Jabri. Therefore, the fall of a Saudi camp of this magnitude will have repercussions on the course of the battles will be in the interest of Sanaa if the equation continues to change as such.
According to the follow-up, the Yemeni forces succeeded in overcoming the fortifications and defense lines of the Saudi Army and reaching the depth, ensuring the securing of all previous achievements in the region, in preparation for a new phase of deterrence completely isolated from the previous stages and their effects.

What has happened has given it ample space to manage its forces to strengthen and secure control of the area and to direct it towards new targets, perhaps the Khashl area and the like would follow.

As for the losses suffered by the Saudi army, a field source says that «large numbers of Saudi soldiers were killed … about 50 soldiers, in addition to the burning of a number of mechanisms and armor and weapons stores», pointing out that «Saudi Air Force launched dozens of air strikes to obstruct Progress. After failing to do so, he bombed his weapons stores. ”

On Saturday evening, a Yemeni military source announced the opening of a new fighting front against the Saudi army in the areas east of Jizan, where Yemeni fighters carried out a surprise attack on the mountain high in the area of Daier.

The source confirmed, in an interview with the «news», the killing of a number of Saudi soldiers and wounded
Others in the process and the burning of a number of mechanisms.

All these developments come after the recent speech of the leader of the movement «Ansar Allah», Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, which declared that the escalation of the forces of aggression will face escalation from the Yemeni army and the «Popular Committees»
