Saudi military expert Major General Mohammed Al-Harbi told Al Jazeera that the coalition's operations in Yemen have entered a new phase, focusing on simultaneously striking Houthi capabilities, energy sources, and their positions in mountains and caves. Al-Harbi predicted that capturing the Bayda highlands, which overlook the capital Sanaa, could lead to the fall of Sanaa. He added that the current operation aims to weaken the Houthi military capabilities, cut off supply lines for their remaining fighters, and emphasized that military operations will not stop before reaching the core areas of Sanaa.
