The Yemeni National Army announced that its forces had made progress on the ground in the Directorate of Sarawah, west of Marib Governorate and is approaching the center of the Directorate, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

A Yemeni military source said, "The army recaptured Tibetan Al-Groon overlooking the center of the city of Sarawah, while Houthi gunmen fled after a violent attack by the army."

The source said that units of the army stationed at the two sites, which are away from the center of the city about 3 kilometers, according to September site of the Yemeni Ministry of Defense.

According to SPA, the fighting resulted in dozens of deaths and injuries among Houthi militias in addition to the destruction of their vehicles.

The military source pointed out that the army artillery shelled the positions of Houthi reinforcements while on their way to the areas of confrontations resulted in the destruction of two vehicles of the militias and the killing and wounding of all Houthi gunmen who were on board them.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said on Monday Israeli forces killed two people, including a 13-year-old, in the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli military said the two had thrown explosives at forces overnight near the Palestinian town of Yabad and that the forces had responded by opening fire.

The Health Ministry identified the two as Mohammed Hamarsheh, 13, and Ahmad Zayd, 20. It did not disclose details about the circumstances behind their deaths.

It was the latest bloodshed in the West Bank, which has faced a surge of violence throughout the 13-month war in Gaza. The Health Ministry says nearly 800 people have been killed, with more than 160 of them 18 and younger.

Many have been killed in fighting with the Israeli military, but Palestinians throwing rocks and others not involved in confrontations have also been killed. There has also been an increase in Palestinian attacks against Israelis in the West Bank since the war in Gaza began.
