The fighting in Lahij governorate is going unnoticed due to the media attention focused on the city of Taiz, as well as the lack of information coming from there, since Ansarallah’s operations are being conducted in strict secrecy. The Aden forces are well aware of what losing the Al Madaribah district would mean. It would not only mean losing the chance to retake Bab el Mandeb, but also pushing the front line to within just 60 kilometers of their de facto capital. That is why they are putting up fierce resistance in the last remaining mountainous areas. However, with the fall of Shatin, they will likely have to consider a retreat to avoid a collapse like the one in Al Mukha. 🇾🇪
