The ‘resumption’ of the battle for Marib is drawing near. 🇾🇪 Whilst Ansarallah was achieving successes on the coast and in Taiz, a series of negotiations took place around Marib between Sana’a and the tribes of the governorate to hand over the city without bloodshed, granting amnesty to tribal members in return. Signs of the success of these negotiations soon became apparent with the start of the partial evacuation of the YNA towards the Saudi border and Shabwah/Hadramaut. However, Riyadh is still maintaining pressure on the tribes via the PLC, so it is still too early to speak of a formal agreement. Meanwhile, thousands of tribal reinforcements affiliated with Sana’a are gathering on the outskirts of Marib, waiting to enter the city either in a military parade or by means of an assault.

Ukraine is working to contract around 1,000 Patriot missiles, but most will not arrive anytime soon. The challenge is no longer only the number of air-defense systems, but also interceptor stockpiles and how quickly Western industry can produce replacements. This video examines the production race behind the missile war. video link:https://youtu.be/HYaBhRm4hfo?si=ckVlCiyPrGGnD2mf

- C. Throughout the month, the Israelis have continued their operations on Ali al-Taher Hill, destroying Hezbollah’s infrastructure, but without establishing firm control over this strategic position. - D. At the beginning of August, Israeli troops caused fires in the vicinity of Kfarchouba as a result of the bombardments. During the second and fourth weeks of the month, incursions were carried out to the south of the locality.

Situation south of Lebanon [28/8/2026]: 🇮🇱 🇱🇧 During the month of August, the IDF carried out limited operations in southern Lebanon, with a reduction in the intensity of the fighting and shelling, but without any progress on the points agreed in the trilateral Israel-Lebanon-US agreement. - A. During the first two weeks, Israeli forces expanded their operations south of Mansouri and north of Chama. - B. During the second week of August, the IDF launched new raids and demolition operations in Meiss el Jabal and Mhaibib, as well as along the adjacent border. These operations continued during the third and fourth weeks. Operations were also carried out west of Hula, extending to the vicinity of the Litani River.

Sudan Civil War: [6/9/2026]: 🇸🇩 Situation on Kordofan front: In early September, the SAF continued to expand its operations across the desert region. From the north, government forces carried out search-and-clear operations in Abu Uruq and Safiya, whilst in the south, they advanced westwards from Jabrat al-Sheikh, reaching Hamra Al-Waz.

Sudan Civil War: [29/8/2026]: 🇸🇩 Situation on Blue Nile front: In the second half of August, the RSF continued their advance along the Qaysan axis, moving northwards with little resistance following the withdrawal of the SAF’s 13th Brigade. As a result, the town of Al Bikora was captured by rebel forces by August 2029. Meanwhile, fighting between the SAF and the RSF is taking place a few kilometres north of the town of Kurmuk, with little change in the situation.

I’m sorry, Michael, but there won’t be any red-light districts or cycle lanes in either Syria or Yemen.

Ten days of Operation “And Allah is More Severe in Power and More Severe in Punishment”: 🇾🇪 Forces from Sanaa have taken control of 5,770 square kilometers of territory since September 3, including 170 kilometers of coastline, the Hanish Archipelago, the island of Perim, and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait In addition, at least 5,000 YNA soldiers were captured, along with tons of abandoned equipment in good condition, which will be used to carry out new operations on other fronts.

Further north, forces from Sanaa resumed their advance in Jabal Habashy, taking control of many positions (Akimah al-Qasas, Al-Shaqah, Al-Burha, Al-Darbah, Wadi Shabaq, Al Janadayn, Al-Mazandeh, Al-Khadra, Al-Jinan) and in the Al Ma'afer district (Al-Mukazama was recaptured, and Al-Akkad remains contested with the YNA). Moreover, following the capture of the Al Wazi’iyah district over the past three days, Ansarallah entered the Shamayatayn district, taking control of Al Aharz, Ajram, and Jabal al-Daif, and reaching the outskirts of Daba Al-Dakhil and Jabal Jardad today, September 13. Meanwhile, fighting broke out on the Al Mawasit front, in what appears to signal the start of a pincer movement to cut off the Aden-Taiz supply lines. In addition, significant reinforcements arrived at the front to open new axes of advance in the governorate.

The second phase of Operation “And Allah is More Severe in Power and More Severe in Punishment” begins: Capture the city of Taiz. 🇾🇪 On September 11, Ansarallah succeeded in taking control of Sheikh Said & Perim island and thereby reaching Bab el-Mandeb. Fighting has crossed the border into the Lahij governorate from five axes (Suqayyah, Al-Burahah, Hawab, Al-Muhawalah, Kahub) and has captured the first areas of this governorate. The second phase of Operation “And Allah is More Severe in Power and More Severe in Punishment” begins: Capturing the city of Taiz. On September 11, Ansarallah succeeded in taking control of Sheikh Said and thereby reaching Bab el-Mandeb. Fighting has crossed the border into the Lahij governorate from five axes (Suqayyah, Al-Burahah, Hawab, Al-Muhawalah, Kahub) and is capturing the first areas of this governorate. As the advance continues, images keep emerging of territory abandoned by the Aden government’s forces.

Thank goodness an old colleague has been helping me out with my workload these past few days.

I'm back from vacation, and the global situation has unfolded as follows: - Ansarallah has launched a major offensive against the government in Aden - Israel has advanced again into Lebanon - Sudan's RSF and SAF are advancing on various fronts - The Russia-Ukraine war continues as usual. - The situation in eastern Syria continues to deteriorate. Good afternoon, everyone. 😅

Following the end of the offensive, Sanaa’s forces managed to secure 130 kilometers of coastline, which—along with the capture of the islands—allows them to increase their control over traffic in the Red Sea and fire control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, in addition to easing the pressure on Saudi attempts to blockade the port of Hudayda. Furthermore, the stabilization of the Taiz front has allowed for increased pressure on supply routes to the governorate’s capital, creating a more vulnerable salient in the face of a simultaneous attack from the Al Ma’afer and Mawasit axes. In light of preparations for a YNA counteroffensive, it is possible that Sanaa will launch an operation to take Taiz, but it is also plausible that the battle for Marib—one of the longest and most grueling battles of Yemen’s civil war, where energy resources are at stake—will be reignited. 🇾🇪

The (temporary) end of the Yemeni offensive on the western coast. 🇾🇪 On September 10, forces from Sanaa launched an amphibious operation on the Hanish Islands, taking control of the archipelago. Meanwhile, in Taiz, Ansarallah continued advancing south of Al Mukha along the coast, taking control of Jabal al-'Umari and the 17th Brigade barracks, as well as Dhubab and its airport, located 15 kilometers from Sheikh Said and thus from the Bab el-Mandeb Strait (reports of a landing on the island of Perim are incorrect). Moreover, from the interior, Ansarallah took control of the remaining areas of the Al Wazi’iyah districts until reaching the administrative borders with the Lahij governorate.

With the latest gains Ansarallah controls now 80% of Taiz governorate. 🇾🇪

Fighting between Ansarallah and the YNA are taking place at Jabal al-Umari (13°00'19.4"N 43°28'41.7"E). The PLC has ordered its forces to buy time to complete their withdrawal to the Aden governorate. It appears that Alimi has decided that the territory Tareq Saleh had controlled for years is lost (blue area). Compounding this deterioration in relations within the coalition is the discontent among southern troops, who—despite having been subdued in January by Riyadh-backed forces—will not hesitate to rebel should their historic territory be threatened. 🇾🇪
