The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen said it will continue to support the national army until the state is restored and the Houthi coup is terminated.

Speaking after meeting with senior Yemeni army officials in Marib and al-Jawf, Coalition spokesman Turki al-Malki praised the efforts of the armed forces and popular resistance against the Iran-backed Houthi militias.

Maliki toured the battlefronts in the governorates as part of the Coalition's continuous support for the military operations.

State-owned Saba news indicated that Malki confirmed the ongoing support of the Coalition to Yemeni armed forces until the end of the coup and the complete liberation of the remaining territories under the control of the Houthis.

For his part, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sagheer bin Aziz praised the army and popular resistance forces on the battlefronts in al-Jawf, west of Yemen.

Official sources stated that the Commander of the Sixth Military Region, Major General Amin al-Waeli, briefed the Chief of Staff on the recent military victories, asserting their importance in allowing the armed forces to move towards al-Hazm, capital of Jawf.

Bin Aziz emphasized that the army is waging a battle on behalf of the Arab nation against the new Persian ambitions in the region, which aim to expand, dominate, and spread destructive ideas among Arab societies.

He also lauded the continuous support of the Saudi-led Coalition for the Yemeni army.

Israel's military said Monday it had apprehended members of an Iran-backed cell in southern Syria, the second such operation it has announced in the past week.

Since the December overthrow of Syria's longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad, Israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes primarily on military sites and carried out cross-border ground raids.

In a statement, the military said troops "completed an overnight operation to apprehend a cell that was operated by the Iranian Quds Force in the Tel Kudna area of southern Syria."

"For the second time in the past week... troops completed a targeted overnight operation and apprehended several operatives who posed a threat in the area," the statement added.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said Israeli forces raided early Monday a village in the Quneitra countryside of southern Syria and "carried out searches targeting several homes, which ended with the arrest of two brothers".

On Wednesday, Israel's military said its forces had apprehended members of an Iranian-backed "terrorist cell" in southern Syria and seized weapons.
