The Houthi group thwarted Saudi-American military movements to install a monitoring platform for missiles and spy devices in the Jizan border region between Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
According to what the Lebanese Al-Akhbar newspaper reported yesterday, “Saudi Arabia intended to move relatively on some border fronts through Bahraini forces linked to the US Fifth Fleet to plant spy devices there, with the aim of monitoring any Yemeni attacks against Israel, but that attempt was being monitored, and it was monitored.” It failed, and ended with the killing of a number of Saudi and Bahraini soldiers in contact areas on the border.”
Saudi Arabia announced the killing of 4 of its soldiers, while Bahrain announced the killing of one soldier.
The operation took place a day after the Pentagon announced the interception of a number of winged missiles and cruise planes launched from Yemen towards the occupying entity, and American reports about Saudi Arabia’s participation in intercepting one of the targets.
The Houthi group launched a major attack on the Saudi border last Wednesday, amid talks at the highest levels between the group and the Kingdom, which is trying to end the nine-year war.
According to many sources, the Houthis launched a major attack on “Jabal al-Doud” in “Jazan” Saudi Arabia on Tuesday morning, and the battles continued until the evening, and led to the killing and wounding of dozens of Houthi militants, while four Saudi soldiers were killed and their injuries were not known.
Neither the Houthis nor the Saudis commented on the attack, which is expected to be very influential in talks between the two parties under Omani mediation and United Nations auspices for a permanent ceasefire in preparation for ending the war in the country.
While the Houthi losses in the attack are not known, Saudis circulated on the , Khaled Muhammad Makhlouti.
An official close to “Saudi Defense” said on the X platform, “The Mountain of Worms is a red line and it is the Bermuda Triangle of the Houthis. I hope they understand the lesson that happened to them well.” It is the second largest attack by the Houthis in less than a month.
The Houthi ground attack on the Saudi border coincided with Bahrain’s announcement on Thursday of the death of a fifth soldier who was injured in a Houthi drone attack last September 25. This attack was condemned by the Security Council and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and was widely considered to be a serious threat to the peace process, and a warning of the end of the truce that has been ongoing since April last year.
