BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:30 A.M.) - The Saudi-led troops launched a big offensive inside the Jizan region of this Gulf kingdom, yesterday, targeting several areas controlled by the Houthi forces.

Backed by heavy airstrikes from the Arab Coalition, the Saudi-led troops attempted to capture the Harad Customs area in a bid to expel the Houthi forces from this imperative region of the province.

However, the Saudi-led offensive would ultimately fail, as the Houthi forces were well-positioned and unwilling to yield any ground to the attacking pro-government troops.

According to the official media wing of the Houthi forces, their troops managed to repel the entire attack with their smalls, which included RPGs and assault rifles.

Below is a video of the Houthi forces repelling the Saudi-led offensive on Friday:
