[su_label type=”info”]SMA News – Raiz – Exclusive [/su_label][su_spacer size=”10″] National army and southern resistance troops achieved major advances in Al-Shurijah / Al-Rahedah front as units of the second brigade (Hazm) controlled the strategic posts of Al-Merkham mountains. Captain Mohamed Al-Naqueeb, spokesman of the fourth military zone, indicated that the operations for controlling Al-Merkham mountains were launched with air support of the Arab Coalition air forces as this strategic post oversees the linking line between Al-Rahedah and Al-Shurijah in Taiz. He added that the national army liberated Al-Suha and Thubrah, on the borders of Al-Rahedah and this makes the full control of Al-Rahedah is a matter of hours. He also indicated that Al-Houthis retaliated with hysterical random bombard of populated areas. In addition, units of the fifth brigade (backup and support) managed to control Gebel Al-Ghareeb, parallel to Al-Rahedah under commandership of brigadier Mukhtar Al-Nouby. It is noteworthy that the army and southern resistance troops achieved several victories since the beginning of April 2018 and liberated Karsh and Al-Shurijah completely with backup of the Arab Coalition air forces and direct supervision of General Fadl Hasan, commander of the fourth military zone.
