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 Israeli military launched a wave of raids across the occupied West Bank overnight and into Tuesday, killing at least three Palestinians it said were “militants” after a deadly shooting attack the day before.

The army said it killed two Palestinian “militants” in an airstrike after they fired at troops in the area of Tamun, a village in the northern West Bank. It said another “militant” was killed in “close-quarters combat” in the nearby village of Taluza and that an Israeli soldier was severely wounded there.

The military said it arrested more than 20 suspected militants in different parts of the territory.

It said the overnight operations were not related to the shooting the day before, in which gunmen opened fire on a bus carrying Israelis in the West Bank, killing two women in their 70s and a 35-year-old policeman before fleeing the scene.

Israeli forces were pursuing those attackers in separate operations.
