Yemeni political analyst Fares Al-Beel asserts that weeks of confrontations between government forces and the Houthis have impeded the latter's progress, but have also precluded them from realizing their goals. In an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Al-Beel stated that the ongoing clashes across all battlefronts have not shifted the ground reality, but have effectively thwarted the Houthis' ambitions.
The Yemeni National Army, he noted, has been vigilant in countering the militia's attempts to advance from the western coastline all the way up north to Saada. Al-Beel emphasized that despite their efforts, all Houthi incursions remain within the established rules of engagement, and the Yemeni forces have successfully repelled the militias. This repulse may now set the stage for significant setbacks for the Houthis.
While the Houthis have sought to reshape the situation on the ground in Yemen, the Yemeni army has been on the offensive, countering the militia in all directions following their recent attempts to target ports. This situation has been exacerbated by widespread public discontent in areas now under Houthi control.
