Yemen: Operation “And Allah is More Severe in Power and More Severe in Punishment” [30/9/2026] 🇾🇪 Over the past 24 hours, fierce fighting has taken place between forces from Sana’a and forces from Aden along the border between the governorates of Lahij and Taiz. Looking at the topography, one can better understand the ferocity of the fighting over the hills and key mountain passes (shown in orange: Jabal Sayf, Jabal Bazilah, Jabal Dhi Ahdah and Jabal Mansour) which provide access to the valleys of Al Malbiyah, Al-Ma’amiyah, Al-Sudair and Shaykh Hadi Qasis. Control of these valleys and their surrounding mountains is vital for initiating the encirclement of the Shamayytayn district in Taiz governorate and putting pressure on the PLC’s supply routes to the city of Taiz.
