The Houthi militia, in Hodeidah Governorate, continues to dominate the absurd crimes that affect the infrastructure and citizens, the last of which was the construction of military tunnels and a massive campaign to blackmail the owners of electronics stores.


In the district of Hays, located on the south of Hodeidah in the border areas of the Taiz governorate, the Houthi militia pushed large forces to the frontiers of the contact points in military preparations for the attack and expanded their field gains, due to the failure of a series of attacks to achieve any progress towards the joint forces' positions.


NewsYemen learned from military and security sources that the Houthi militia had pushed new forces from the areas of Jabal Ras, Al-Jarahi, Zabid and Al-Aden towards the Directorate, which was in the past a commercial metropolis and a stopover for convoys heading to the commercial port of Mocha.

According to the sources, at least 4 military crews loaded with ammunition left the supply stores of the Houthi militia in the Al-Khamis and Al-Mubarraz regions in the Jabal Ras district, and headed to reinforce their crumbling forces in Hays.


In the Al-Jarahi district near Hays, the Houthi militia pushed crews carrying building materials and motorcycles through the sub-dirt roads to the northwestern suburbs of the city, in parallel with an unprecedented mobilization to erect new fortifications.


 According to the sources, the Houthi militia crews unloaded their loads of flat, plywood at Al-Aden Junction, in preparation for their transfer to places previously identified for digging military tunnels to protect their movements from any monitoring and aerial targeting.

The sources confirmed to "NewsYemen" that the Iranian arm began digging a war tunnel in the open spaces between the city of Hays and Wadi Nakhleh, indicating that the entrance to this tunnel starts from one of the farms and ends to the valley that extends from the north of Sha`ab and south of Al-Aden, passing through Hais and irrigates the water of the country of Dubli north of Khokha and reach the Red Sea.


The Houthi movement in constructing the war tunnels came after the failure of a large-scale attack by its groups on the joint forces' sites around the village of Al-Haimaniya in the past days, and they suffered heavy material losses.


 Al-Doha .. blackmailing owners of electronics stores


 In Al-Duha district, in the north of Al-Hudaydah Governorate, which is famous for its dense farms, local sources said that the Houthi militia imposed strict restrictions on the owners of the electronics store and also prevented the sale of the local Internet and confiscated its broadcast equipment.


 According to "NewsYemen" sources, the Houthi militia forced the owners of the electronics store to pay 25% of their profits as levies for the so-called "war effort."


In another violation that isolates the population and obscures the militia's crimes, the sources explained that Iran's arm cut off all internet networks and launched a campaign against the owners of networks providing the local Internet service in villages and neighborhoods, as well as threatening to cut off internet points in homes.


 The sources attributed this to unknown reasons, but technical sources indicated that the Houthi militia campaign includes the owners of wireless network transmitters that use the same frequencies in drones owned by the Houthi militia and have several workshops in the countryside of Hodeidah, as the coastal governorates take a platform to launch them.


Al-Aghbry's fears reach Hodeidah

The case of the young Abdullah Al-Aghbry, who spent last month in a brutal torture operation at the hands of a gang, including a security supervisor of the Houthi militia, according to leaked digital recordings that shook public opinion, has become a source of inconvenience for Iran, which tried to exploit the case, but the popular demonstrations expanded their fears to begin to suppress everyone who speaks  About the issue.

The Houthi militia directed the Iqal Harat of Hodeidah city that the Al-Aghbry case has become politicized by the coalition and that it will not tolerate anyone seeking to exploit the issue in dismantling what it calls the "home front."

The Houthi militia claimed that the coalition is exploiting the issue to create chaos and demonstrations, taking advantage of popular reactions about the issue, fears that Iran's arm is seeking to besiege it in Hodeidah, where security pincers are applied with iron and fire, and the city is groaning from the terror of Iran's arm.
