Yemeni Army’s Surprise Attacks on Saudi Arabia Coming Soon
Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Sharaf Qaleb Luqman vowed that a new wave of unprecedented attacks on Saudi Arabia and the pro-Hadi militias will start soon.
“We will surprise the enemy with our large-scale fresh attacks,” the Arabic-language Al-Alam TV quoted Brigadier General Luqman as saying on Monday.
He noted that the Saudi media have staged a psychological warfare against the Yemeni forces, and said, “We are currently present deep inside Saudi Arabia and they cannot confront us; we hit them with Scud missiles and target their tanks with Cornet defense systems.”
Brigadier General Luqman elaborated on the Yemeni army’s general strategy against the Saudi army, and said, “Our commanders believe that mere fighting against the Saudi mercenaries is not sufficient; we have occupied vast areas in Southern Saudi Arabia which are in fact our own provinces previously occupied by the Riyadh government.”
The Saudi media are running a hype about their country’s unreal military gains in Yemen in order to boost the morale of their troops, even showing fake videos of slain Yemeni forces.
The footage of Saudi Arabia’s false videos comes just days after the Yemeni army and revolutionary forces uploaded their genuine videos on their victories in Yemen and Southern Saudi Arabia.
One of the videos titled ‘Saudi Apache helicopter precisely targeted Al-Houthis in Sa’ada Mountains’ is actually a videogame that has even appeared in some pro-Saudi media such as Al-Watan al-Kuwait and al-Manateq al-Wusta.
The fake video comes from a computer game named ‘Medal of Honor 2010′. The Arabic subtitle has even been used for the fake video, making the case even more ridiculous.
On Saturday, a senior Yemeni popular commander cautioned that Saudi Arabia is running a media hype about war in Sana’a in a bid to reduce pressure on the Riyadh-led forces in the South.
“The Saudi media hype about Sana’a battle is no more than the enemy’s psychological warfare to help the forces loyal to fugitive president Mansour Hadi who are fighting against the Yemeni forces in the South and the Saudi army in Najran and Jizan to feel less pressure and boost their morale,” a senior Ansarullah commander told FNA.
The commander said that the Saudi enemy has to pass through Southern provinces before opening its path to Sana’a, while it has failed to do so. “Before Sana’a, they should come in control over Ibb, Taez and Damar, but have failed to stretch their control over these provinces.”
He said the Saudi regime does not even know the location or whereabouts of the Ansarullah missiles that target its troops. “The Yemeni army and revolutionary forces have developed their missile capabilities to adopt a new strategy against the enemy,” he added.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 159 days now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 5,602 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.
Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
Total War in Yemen Totally Ignored by Western Media
After NATO’s attempt to invoke the “responsibility to protect” (R2P) as justification for the destruction of Libya, it became clear that NATO was merely hiding behind the principles of humanitarian concern, not upholding them. And while it may be difficult to believe, there are still those across the Western media and policy think-tanks attempting to use R2P to justify further military aggression against nations like Syria.
However, R2P is conveniently absent amid what little talk of Yemen that does take place in the Western media. US-backed blockades and months of aerial bombardments have tipped Yemen toward a humanitarian catastrophe. Not only does both the UN and the West fail to demand an end to the bombings and blockades, the West has continued to underwrite Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s military adventure in Yemen.
The carnage and injustice visited upon Yemen serves as yet another stark example of how the West and its institutions, including the United Nations, are the greatest dangers to global peace and stability, using the pretext of defending such ideals as a means to instead undo them.
Considering this, we discover yet another potential reason the Western media’s coverage of Yemen is muted.
It remains to be seen how the Houthi fighters react to the ground invasion of Yemen by Emirati troops. Dealing severe losses to the UAE’s armor while continuing to weather aerial bombardment may see the stalling or even the withdrawal of this latest incursion. Not unlike the 2006 Lebanon War where Hezbollah fighters expertly used terrain to negate Israeli advantages in airpower and armor, forcing an early end to the fighting, the Houthis may yet answer this latest move by US-backed proxies operating in Yemen.
Perhaps this possibility above all, is why the Western media would rather the general public knew little of what was going on in Yemen. It would represent yet another conventional Western-equipped proxy army defeated by irregular forces in yet another failed campaign fought in the interests of Wall Street and Washington. While the Western media refuses to cover the events unfolding in Yemen with the attention and honesty they deserve, the conflict is nonetheless pivotal, and may determine the outcome of other proxy wars raging across the Middle East and North Africa, and even beyond.

Yemeni Forces Win Back Strategic Region in Ibb Province
The Yemeni army and popular forces seized back a strategic region in Central Yemen after several days of fierce clashes with pro-Hadi and Al-Qaeda terrorists, media reports said.
The Yemeni forces took full control over al-Badan mountainous region in Ibb province, the Arab-language Al-Manar Satellite TV reported.
In a relevant development earlier today, the Yemeni troops took over a strategic military base in the Southern parts of Saudi Arabia. They also seized control of Mash’al military base in Jizan province.
Tens of Saudi troops were killed and several of their military vehicles and tanks were also destroyed during the Yemeni forces’ raid on the base.
On Sunday, several US military advisors of the Saudi army were killed and wounded in heavy clashes with Yemen’s revolutionary forces in Saudi Arabia’s Najran region.
“The Yemeni revolutionary committee forces killed three US military advisors and wounded two others in the Southern province of Najran,” Abu Hessam, a senior Ansarullah commander, told FNA.
