Political analyst Dr. Aref Abu Hatim has stated that recent developments on the ground in Yemen are no longer in favor of the Houthis.

Speaking in an interview with Al-Ikhbariya Radio, Abu Hatim said the Houthis have failed to achieve any significant advances in Taiz despite ongoing siege and shelling, noting that large military convoys have moved toward Lahij province.

He added that the Houthis have intensified military movements from Al-Shamayatayn toward Al-Mudaraba and Al-Arah in an attempt to target Aden, while simultaneously suffering repeated military losses in Al-Jawf as Yemeni resistance forces have taken control of the Dahidha mountain range and cut supply lines.
