Jordanian Commandos Reinforce Saudis on Yemen’s Border?
This is unbelievable. Maybe if we all say it slowly: There is no military solution. The Yemen Times details reports of Somalis fighting alongside the Hotuhis and picks up reports in the Saudi media of yet another player, Jordan, on the side of the Saudis:
Saudi media sources revealed on Saturday that Jordanian commandos are backing the Saudi army in its operations against Houthis at the Dukhan Mountain.The Eco of Najd and Hijaz newspaper said that the Jordanian commandos arrived at Saudi camps in the northern city of Tabuk a few days ago, and were then transported by planes to the southern part of the Kingdom. The newspaper revealed that those forces suffered great losses as a result of Houthi assaults against them.
Seche was right when he said both sides were exploiting the ban on journalists in Sa’ada to make up their own truths. More from the YT:
Circulated by email, the (rebels) statement continued that Houthis took over 134 military positions and eight Sa’ada districts since the sixth Sa’ada war broke out in mid-August. It accused the Saudi army of using phosphor bombs in its aerial shelling on Jabal Dukhan, Hasama and Dhahr Al-Himar areas.
Six Saudi soldiers were killed were killed in a Houthi assault on Thursday, Saudi media sources said, adding that Saudi Marines are taking control of the 64km-long coastline between Jaizan and Mausem towns to prevent potential infiltration of militants into Saudi territory. They confirmed that Saudi fighter jets destroyed two Kaytusha launch-pads, belonging to anonymous militants.
