Taiz Fronts Drain Houthis
The Houthis failed to take control of Taiz despite tightening the siege since early October. The steadfastness of government forces and popular resistance helped wear them down and shift the balance of the confrontation—from defending the city to imposing an increasing cost on the attackers. Experts attributed this to the forces’ experience, having remained in control of the city for 12 years, as well as its fortifications, mountainous terrain and dense urban development, and strikes by coalition aircraft. As a result, the Houthis eased pressure on Taiz and focused more on Lahj, while researchers described the battle as decisive for the future of both the city and Yemen.
