HOUTHIS REPORT CAPTURE OF PROVINCE BORDERING SAUDI ARABIA

By Caleb Weiss | March 17th, 2020 | weiss.caleb2@gmail.com | @Weissenberg7
Houthi fighters enter the government center of Yemen’s al Jawf Governorate.

Following a recent offensive over the last few weeks in Yemen’s northern al Jawf
Governorate, the Houthi insurgency has reported that its forces are in ‘full
control’ of the area.

In a statement released earlier today, Yahya Saree, the Houthi movement’s
military spokesman, announced that the insurgents had taken over most of al Jawf
except for a few areas closer to the borders with Saudi Arabia.

Those areas, such as the Khub wal Shaaf district, were recently retaken by
Yemeni forces of the Saudi-backed coalition. This also includes al Yatma, where
the Houthis also recently attempted to assassinate the governor of al Jawf with
a ballistic missile.

Despite those areas, the Houthis remain in firm control of al Jawf’s capital, al
Hazm – which was captured earlier this month – and its various surrounding
districts.

Photos released by the Houthis today also detail the movement’s firm control
over the provincial capital.

In separate statements over the last few days, the Houthis have also claimed to
have shot down several Saudi F-15s with Fatir-1 anti-aircraft missiles, which
were first showcased last year.

Though only one recently claimed downing, which occurred last month, appears to
be confirmed.

The Houthi insurgency will now likely turn its attention to the neighboring
Ma’rib Governorate, where fierce fighting has taken place over the last few
months.

Just today, the Houthis reportedly launched an attack on the town of Sirwah. The
insurgents also claimed to have captured a Yemeni military camp near the town,
but this has been refuted by the Yemeni forces.

Additionally, the Yemeni military said its men started a counter-offensive
against the Houthis in this area.

Coinciding with the push near Sirwah, as many as three Houthi ballistic missiles
have also been launched inside Ma’rib in recent days. The missiles reportedly
hit inside civilian areas of Ma’rib city, according to local residents and
reports.

The Iranian-backed Houthis have routinely used ballistic missiles as part of its
military strategy during offensives.

The complete loss of Ma’rib would be a severe blow to the Saudi-led coalition in
Yemen and would help solidify Houthi control over much of the country’s north.

Photos released by the Houthis from the city of al Hazm:
