Houthi brigade commander killed in clashes in Taiz, Yemeni sources say

Yemeni sources have reported the death of Houthi commander Ahmedi Mohammed Jabr Abu Suraimah, also known as Abu Muadh al-Suraimi, who led the 139th Infantry Brigade, during clashes on the frontlines in Taiz province.

Al-Suraimi was from the Qaifa tribe in Al-Qurayshiyah district, part of the Rada’a area in Al-Bayda province. He joined the Houthi movement early on, became closely linked to its leadership in Saada before the coup, and played a key role in recruiting and mobilizing fighters from his tribe.

The group had appointed him commander of the 139th Infantry Brigade, which is based at Al-Qusayr camp near Jabal Ahram, overlooking the city of Rada’a.
