On May 9, 2023, Mayadeen TV (Lebanon) aired a report about a military drill held by the Houthis’ Sanaa Forces in a 100-square-kilometer area in the Taiz region in southern Yemen. The large-scale drill, which was titled “Loyalty to the Martyred Leader,” was carried out by forces from the Houthis’ 4th Military Command and involved the use of infantry forces, artillery, tanks, rockets, and explosive-laden drones against targets simulating Israeli and American positions. According to the report, the 4th Military Command is responsible for the Yemeni regions of Taiz, Lahij, Dhale, Abyan, and Aden, and the drill was an offensive drill meant to “elevate combat readiness” during the current “neither-peace-nor-war” situation in the conflict in Yemen.
