CAIRO – 28 June 2018: Yemeni resistance forces, backed by the Saudi-led Arab coalition, launched a military attack against the positions of the Iranian-backed Houthi militias on the outskirts of Al Faza, south of Tahita District in Yemen, WAM reported Wednesday.

The offensive was carried out with the ultimate objective of rolling back the militias' remaining elements stationed in south of Hodeidah and its port, on the Yemen's Red Sea Cost, in preparation for the liberation of the city and its port.

The joint Yemeni resistance forces took the militias with surprise and launched a large scale attack against its positions on Hodeidah front from different sides, killing 22 and capturing 18 of the crumbling Houthi militias elements.

The Houthi militiamen are trying to carry on infiltration attempts to the coastal line in Al Faza, Mjailis and Jah areas in Tahita and Bait Al Faqih districts in a bid to cutting the supply lines of the resistance forces who are advancing towards Hodeidah city.

However, all these attempts were in vain as they have been confronted decisively and the Houthi elements who conducted them have been expelled. The militiamen also fled areas of Al Suwaiq, Al Mugris and Al Mudmin to the centre of Zubaid District.

The joint forces also combed several kilometers of the militias' hideouts on the Yemen's Read Sea Cost as well as Al Faza farms.
