The Houthis launched a new large-scale attack on the border with the southern Saudi province of Jizan and imposed control of at least 20 positions of the Saudi-led coalition and its Yemeni proxies by February 14.
The Houthis’ media wing released a 21-minute video showing the group’s fighters storming coalition positions in the area of Harad. At least three vehicles, which were destroyed or damaged by the Houthis, can be seen in the video.
“No matter how many forces or vehicles you will have, we, with God’s will, will destroy them,” a field commander of the Houthis says in the video.
In the last few weeks, the Houthis stepped up their attacks along the border with Saudi Arabia. In some cases, the Yemeni fighters even advanced deep inside the kingdom’s territory, especially in Najran and Jizan.
According to observers, the Houthis view these cross-border attacks as a measrue to deter the Saudi-led coalition, which is trying to expand its control in northern and central Yemen.
