Reports indicate that most of the attacks are taking place south of Mocha, particularly in the Dhubab district, which fell under the control of Ansarullah.
Meanwhile, the takeover of Mocha and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait has given Ansarullah a broader operational environment for its asymmetric naval warfare, allowing it to employ short-range missiles in addition to the long-range precision missiles it used before the takeover.
The counteroffensive is therefore relying primarily on Saudi air power, while Ansarullah continues to demonstrate its ability to evade and withstand attempts to undermine its military capabilities.
Ansarullah has mastered the art of stealth warfare, enabling its forces to take control of ground and subsequently disappear from the battlefield, a capability that previously frustrated US and Israeli efforts to target its military capabilities, with those efforts ultimately failing to achieve their objective.
However, if the Saudi-backed forces are serious about mounting an effective counteroffensive, they cannot rely solely on airstrikes.
They would also require ground forces capable of advancing through an on-the-ground military offensive to retake territory.
That is not happening at present, with the campaign continuing to rely mostly on airstrikes.
