  "summary": "The Saudi-led coalition and Yemeni government forces have launched a large-scale assault on Houthi positions in Yemen. According to the Jerusalem Post, 100 fighter jets are providing air cover for the ground operation. The Yemeni armed forces have seized strategic positions in Marib and launched a major assault in Hajjah as part of the \"Dawn of Yemen\" operation, as reported by Ajel English.\n\nThe government forces have also taken control of large parts of Dhubab district, which overlooks the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, with heavy air support from the Saudi-led coalition, according to Al-Monitor, citing military and government sources. This development is part of a broader effort to reverse recent gains by the Iran-backed Houthis and drive them from the vital waterway.\n\nThe renewed fighting has already led to the displacement of tens of thousands of people and exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, where three out of every four families in some areas are going hungry, as reported by Egypt Independent. The Yemeni government has declared a new campaign to retake all territory held by the Houthis, and the Saudi-led coalition has pledged its full support for the operation.",
