Report: Yemen's government forces regain control over Taiz areas

Yemen's government forces have made advances in the southern Taiz governorate, taking control of several areas and higher ground. According to Middle East Eye, they have regained control of Jabal Bazel, a mountaintop that allows them to target Houthi supply lines.

The Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad al-Alimi, said Yemeni forces had regained the advantage and their deterrence capabilities and were capable of restoring control over the whole country, as reported by Middle East Eye. Alimi called on the Yemeni people to mobilize and join Yemen's armed forces to combat the Iran-backed Houthis.

Alimi also stated that the goal of Yemen's armed forces is to regain territory controlled by the Houthis and restore safety and security in the region, and offered full amnesty to any Houthi terrorists who defect from the group and stop fighting, starting on September 26, as reported by Jerusalem Post. He thanked Saudi Arabia for its backing of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen.
