The Arab Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen announced that it carried out 35 operations against the Houthi militia on the fronts of Marib and Hajjah.

In a tweet carried out by Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Coalition explained that the operations resulted in the destruction of 22 military vehicles and inflicted causalities among Houthis.

Yemeni sources estimated the strikes killed and injured dozens of Houthi militants.

The Yemeni military media reported that the forces, backed by the popular resistance, thwarted a Houthi attack on several military sites south of the Marib governorate.

The media center of the Yemeni armed forces quoted a military source as saying that the Houthi militia fled the area after many of its members were killed or wounded.

The military source indicated that the Yemeni armed forces recovered two vehicles with their equipment left by the militia members, while Coalition fighters targeted militia reinforcements, destroying their vehicles and killing militants on board.

Meanwhile, Yemeni media reported that eight Houthi members were killed and others injured in clashes with the National Army forces north of Taiz city.

Saba news agency quoted a military source as saying that the National Army forces attacked militia sites, killing eight militants, including a sniper, in the Kabab Building on al-Arbaeen Street.

The coalition air force also targeted Houthi sites in the al-Madradat Ghorab area, west of the city.

Director of UNRWA Affairs in the West Bank Roland Friedrich said Wednesday that Israel is “using advanced weaponry and warfare methods including airstrikes” in its “massive operation” in the flashpoint West Bank town of Jenin.

On Tuesday, Israeli forces launched an operation in Jenin which Palestinian officials said killed 10 people, just days after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect in the Gaza Strip.

Friedrich said Jenin Camp is “nearly uninhabitable, with some 2,000 families displaced since mid-December.”

“UNRWA has been unable to provide full services to the camp in this time,” he said on X.

“The operation comes merely a week before implementation of Israeli legislation that severely undermines UNRWA’s operations in the West Bank, including coordination of humanitarian access,” he said.

“It also threatens to undermine the fragile ceasefire reached just days ago in Gaza,” Friedrich added.
