 A local newspaper said that the Qatari-funded "Popular Mobilization" militia gave the forces of the 35th Armored Brigade, two days, to hand over their positions in the strategic Munif Mountain overlooking many areas of Lahj Governorate, to the Fifth Brigade of the Brotherhood militia in Taiz Governorate.

 Al-Share’ newspaper quoted a military source as saying that this operation comes as a continuation of the bulldozing operation of the 35th Armored Brigade, carried out by the Islah Party in Taiz, and its replacement with the Popular Mobilization militias within the Brotherhood’s plan to head south and bring the region into total chaos.

And on Wednesday, the Popular Mobilization Militia, affiliated with the Islah Party, took control of Mount Bihan overlooking the city of Al-Turbah, Dhahban and Al-Asabeh in the Al-Shamaitain District, south of Taiz Governorate.

Al-Share’ newspaper said that more than 50 militants of the Popular Mobilization militia in the "Fiveth Brigade Support and Support", which was recently established, in the Al-Shamayatain district outside the scope of the Ministry of Defense, and affiliated with Hamoud Al-Mikhlafi, took control of the military site on the top of Baihan Mountain and expelled the security forces in it.

It stated that the Popular Mobilization militia had strengthened its presence in Mount Bihan with military crews, a self-propelled cannon, a mortar and a number of anti-aircraft.
