In a response to the Saudi-led coalition daily air strikes and for the third time , the flag of Yemen and the slogan of “Ansar Allah” rose in Jabri in Jizan , which located 30 kilometers from the border of Saada province. Smoke rises from Saudi armors, and concrete blocks fly from the watchtowers bombed by the movement’s fighters, one by one, in the heights of Qaim, Marwa, Khafaqah, Mu’naf, Dahirah  and Hamedah, which surround the al-Jabri camp. 27 fighters from the Yemeni joint forces took control of al-Jabri camp and fought in an unequal battle with the Saudi army backed  by the F16, Apache and Turindo planes from Thursday night to Friday morning, July 28, 2017, to take “Abrams” and “Bradley” aromrs  after they allowed the withdrawal of Saudi forces, whereas 20 of  officers and a soldier fell dead whose names were got by  “AL-Arabi “. With guns and chants, wounded men from Ansar Allah, wounded in the battle of Jabri, told” Al Arabi” the details of the camp’s downfall. Abu Shaleel Koaiba, whose leg was broken in al-Marwa mount overlooking Jabri, said: ”  26 of my mujahidin colleagues and I was informed to attack al-Jabri. This was a week before the start of the battle, where we were in the village of Qamar, west of the city of Khouba, which is 20 kilometers away from Hamda, the first villages of Jabri».

He added “we came up with  the plan together, and every 4-5 of us formed a  group. We started moving ,while the drones and oaks did not stop hovering all the time. Each group with with personal guns, has also a B10 cannon , an armor-type thermal cornea, and a quantity of mines ,whic were carried by us rotately in the reefs and highlands, stating “After four days of crawling and walking, we approached the watchtowers and the guard tower. Our bodies were covered with branches of the trees and stock to rocks to start advancing, which is usually at night, and with every sound emanating from our movements or from the monkeys’ mess and the wind with the trees, the Saudi soldiers looked at the patrol cars with the night vision, wandering around in the dark area and coming back inside ,while we from time to time planted mines around towers ,meanwhile, the officiers and soliders’ voices rose , in addiotion to the jets’ buzzing over us.  “The directives were issued Thursday night, beginning Friday, to start the battle by blowing up the watchtowers and shelling the armored vehicles in the the camp. Then the screams rose from inside and fired was opened indiscriminately everywhere, while we monitored armored vehicles crash and target ed the anti-thermal one by one, except tanks and armors fleeing from the northern entrance. As the coming of dawn, the jets bombing began indiscriminately until morning. Thus, nine of the Mujahideen were martyred ,and  five of my colleagues and I were wounded in the literacy school in the camp , which became ammunitions store by the Saudi forces.

“We took over the camp, raised the Yemeni flag and the solgan in al-Jabri, and shouted with AL-Sarkhah. And with the sight of the armor burning and the fumes rising,  we shed the tears of victory , had a sense of indescribable power and grandeur, and echoed the martyr’s (Lutf AL-Qohoom ) chant : “Tell the enemy, the captain of the army, Your army is retreating on its heels when we stormed Dokhan and AL-Jabri  , and where are you when Jizan got burnt and our solgan reached AL-Khobah ,he confirmed. “30 km behind the border is not the first time for Ansar Allah to control Jabri with its mountains, villages and camps. In 2009, when Saudi forces took part alongside the forces of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh in the sixth war, Ansar Allah seized the Jabri, Dukhan, Dood and Khubba heights in Jizan , in addition to 25 Saudi villages and 10 tanks in less than a week. Therefore, Saudi Arabia has to be condemned.
