Sources added that a number of al-Had tribes began to come to support al-Baida Resistance, while other tribal groups are preparing to secure al-Had tribal border.
The militias launched late on Sunday evening an attack on sites that they have already lost in the recent battles in al-Zaher district.
Local sources told Newsyemen that al-Omar, backed by al-Humaiqan Resistance had resisted the Houthi's attempt to restore sites liberated in Sunday's battle in Thi Na'em front in al-Baida province.
