AIPolitical analyst Abdullah Ismail said the redeployment of Yemeni forces around the Bab Al-Mandab Strait has enabled them to seize strategic positions from the Houthis, particularly in Kahboub mountain and the surrounding areas of the strait.
Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Ismail added that the Yemeni armed forces have stripped the Houthi militia of many areas they previously controlled near Bab Al-Mandab.
He noted that all Houthi militia movements have failed amid ongoing military advances, with the group retreating significantly in Kahboub and several other areas. Ismail said Yemenis are now anticipating the liberation of these territories from Houthi control.
The analyst continued that upcoming measures include shifting from a defensive posture to launching direct offensives. He explained that while the Houthis have traditionally concentrated their military strength on a single front, they are now facing simultaneous advances by the Yemeni army on multiple fronts.
