Dozens of Saudi soldiers and Saudi-paid fighters were killed, wounded and several of them were arrested at dawn Sunday by the Yemeni  in Jizan.

A military source told YemenExtra that the Army managed to foil the attempts of the paid fighters’ advance off Dokhan mountain which ended with the killing and wounding of scores, while a tank and a military vehicle were destroyed.

The source pointed out that the attempt to advance continued for hours and was supported by Apache flight and dozens of air raids.

A number of paid fighters were killed few days ago , in an attempt to advance towards Harad customs. The Army also managed to destroy 14 vehicles and armored.

In March 2015, Saudi Arabia and a coalition of its regional allies — mainly the united Arab Emirates and Jordan — started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.
