Breaking | The entire Taiz theater of operations in seven hours .. From Jabal Habashi to Bab al-Mandab, and from Sabir to Al-Turbah on the Lahj border, fire on every front and the enemy is breaking

Taiz - Exclusive

First: The theater of operations in seven hours .. A comprehensive look In just seven hours, every front in Taiz flared up, without exception. Not a single front, nor a single axis, but an entire theater of operations, stretching from the north of Taiz city to its south, from its west to its east, and from the coast of Bab al-Mandab to the Lahj border. Government forces and the popular resistance are fighting on ten simultaneous axes, and the enemy is retreating in the west, massing in desperation in the south, and failing to break through into Al-Turbah.

Second: The northern axis .. Asafira and GhurabIn Asafira, north of the city, clashes broke out this afternoon, and a government announcement said an enemy infiltration attempt had been thwarted and failed. In Ghurab and around the Central Security camp, artillery fire was exchanged, and a government announcement said an enemy tank had been hit, with no advance by the enemy. In the northeast, the government position is holding firm, and counterfire is preventing any breakthrough toward the city.

Third: The northwestern axis .. Jabal Hane and Al-DababOn Jabal Hane, west of the city, a government announcement said a second enemy infiltration attempt had been thwarted, with reports of five dead among the attackers.In Al-Dabab, there is relative, cautious calm, with government forces remaining in their announced positions on Jabal Hane, in Al-Salih Gardens, and on Al-Jabal al-Aswad.This axis is the city's western shield, and it is holding for now.

Fourth: The eastern axis inside the city .. Kalaba, Al-Thawra, and Al-Tashrifat In Kalaba, Al-Thawra, and Al-Tashrifat, intermittent clashes with heavy and medium weapons, according to local and national field sources. Neighborhoods near the front lines are under enemy mortar and artillery fire, and the danger of sniping continues for civilians in Wadi Salala and the east of the city. Civilians are holding firm, and government forces are hitting back hard.

Fifth: The southern axis .. Sabir, Al-Misrakh, and Al-AqrudIn Al-Misrakh, at the Sanamat position, seven hours of government fire being used to hold the position, not a moment of assault. Government forces, according to an official statement issued by the media center of the Taiz axis, are holding their position firmly, while the enemy's failed shells fall on the villages of Al-Shaqab, Al-Aqrud, Mashra'a, and Hudnan.In Sabir al-Mawadim, Al-Sarari is ablaze under fire from government forces, with drone strikes attributed to the Taiz axis and exchanges of fire that have worn the enemy down.In Al-Aqrud, a fierce war of attrition, and enemy reinforcements are moving from the direction of Al-Damna in Khadir in desperation, with no independent confirmation that they have arrived and no field trace of them.

Sixth: The western axis .. Jabal Habashi and MaqbanahThis was the biggest field explosion in the window. According to a statement on the fighting issued by the spokesman for the Taiz axis, Colonel Abdul Basit al-Bahr, government forces advanced on the two fronts of Al-Ashruh and Al-Qawz on the outskirts of Jabal Habashi district and seized important positions: Al-Qa'ida, Taba al-Jamal, Al-Madafin, Al-Dariba, Al-Ra'i, Hub al-Uqab, Al-Asq, Al-Kuwayha, and parts of Al-Qahifa. The flashpoint now is Al-Rahba, toward Maqbanah. The distance between the two government fronts has shrunk, and Al-Urf is the last knot before they link up.If the government forces complete their link-up, the west of Taiz will enter an entirely new phase.

Seventh: The southwestern axis .. Al-Shamaytayn, Al-Wazi'iyah, Khadir, and Al-SaluIn Al-Shamaytayn, Dab' is under fire, and an enemy rocket fell near an elementary school inside a residential village, according to local and national sources. There is no confirmed toll yet, but the panic among residents is certain. In Al-Ahraz, on the outskirts of Al-Wazi'iyah, the enemy tried to take control for hours, then made a humiliating partial retreat, a pattern that exposes the enemy's inability to hold ground. In Khadir, Al-Damna is massing in desperation, part of it toward Al-Aqrud and part toward Al-Salu. This buildup will not change the equation, and the south is holding.In Al-Salu, there is cautious watchfulness, with enemy movements detected from the direction of Al-Damna, and no confirmed breakthrough so far.

Eighth: The southeastern axis .. Al-Turbah on the Lahj border In Al-Turbah, the center of Al-Shamaytayn district, the situation is under compound control: a stable center, a relatively secure road, and burning outskirts.The city center is in the hands of government forces and the security agencies, the government complex and the security directorate are in the hands of the state, and the governorate's security forces are reinforced by military units. Above the city, forces belonging to the 35th Armored Brigade are stationed in overlooking mountains, watching every movement.
