A military source told "Newsyemen" that the Qatari-backed Popular Mobilization Forces attacked the house of Colonel Abdulhakim Al-Jabzi, head of operations of the 35th Armored Brigade, in the village of Al-Jabziya in Al-Maafer District, and bombed citizens' homes with shells.
The bombing resulted in one daeth and a number of wounded among civilians, including the wife of the head of operations of the 35th Armored Brigade, Colonel Abdulhakim al-Jabzi, after the house was hit by shells.
Al-Jabzi is the head of operations of the 35th Armored Brigade, and one of the most prominent companions of the martyr was Brigadier General Adnan Al-Hammadi, and he was at the forefront of the officers and one of the first defenders of Taiz, as he participated in the battles to liberate Al-Dhabab, Al-Aqroudh and the Al-Salu Front.
According to the source, the 35th Brigade forces bombed the locations of the Popular Mobilization Militia in the vicinity of Al-Bireen Market, from their locations in the Al-Masha'ara and Al-Rahish Mountains, after the crowd advanced towards the residential villages.
Earlier, the Popular Mobilization Militia attacked Jabal Yumain in the city of Al-Turbah and bombed the Bayhan camp of the 35th Armored Brigade in an attempt to tighten its control over the city of Al-Turbah and the rest of Al-Hujaria.
The Brotherhood militia stepped up its operations in Al-Hujaria, led by Shawqi Al-Mikhlafi, brother of the Brotherhood leader Hammoud Saeed Al-Mikhlafi, who undertakes the establishment and training of the militia with funding from the State of Qatar, in the context of a clear rebellion led by the leadership of the Taiz Axis against the governor and chief of staff's decision to withdraw from the military theater of the 35th Armored Brigade.
