Houthis strengthen security in Ibb

The Houthi group, supported by Iran, has focused on strengthening its security and military hold in Ibb Governorate amid rising tensions and clashes along the frontlines with Taiz, Al Hudaydah, and Al Dhale'e provinces. The Houthis relocated the command of the military region that includes Ibb, Al Dhale'e, and Taiz to the city of Damt, and increased the deployment of their units, especially in areas close to the fighting lines, by deploying forces from the elite units known as "Al-Sammad Brigades." They also mobilized fighters from local residents to confront these challenges, imposed strict security measures on civilians and movement across the area, and emphasized their complete control over the region, which serves as a vital supply hub for their fronts. These moves come a year after a wide-scale crackdown that targeted more than 115 educational, academic, medical, and engineering personnel, with most of those detained still held without trial. The suffering of families remains severe, as they continue to communicate with the detainees amid ongoing lack of transparency. Militarily, the Houthis have turned areas east of Ibb into a command center for military operations, reflecting an escalation in the region's military tensions.
