Houthis Attack And Overrun Saudi Coalition Outpost
Published 3 years ago
Houthi rebels used multiple cameras to record a daylight attack on a Saudi coalition outpost in Yemen.
The Iranian-facilitated Shia Houthi rebels carried out multiple raids on the Arab coalition around the same time. This footage is reportedly from an attack in the al Talaa area of Najran province.
From the footage we can see the insurgents creep easily into close proximity of the perimeter undetected. Arab armies are notorious for poor soldiering and negating security at the repeated cost of friendly losses. It doesn't appear any proSaudi forces were on guard when they are attacked. The inhospitable terrain obviously plays a role in allowing the Houthis to get close unobserved as well.
Several pro Saudi fighters are visible when the attack commences, initiated by rifle fire. The battle is short as the Saudi coalition defenders do not defend at all and retreat into the desolate countryside.
