Renewed clashes between Yemen's internationally recognized government forces and Houthi rebels have intensified, particularly in Taiz and Hodeidah provinces. Yemeni military sources claimed on July 13, 2026, that they recaptured the Hais district, an area vital for its connections between Hodeidah, Taiz, and Ibb provinces, according to Turkiye's Anadolu news agency. This offensive is part of ongoing tit-for-tat attacks, with government troops also capturing Houthi fighters in al-Jarahi district. The escalating conflict has had a severe humanitarian impact. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that approximately 1,800 families have been displaced over the past two days due to the intensified fighting in Taiz. Reports indicate that over 60 people, including civilians, were killed in Taiz on Saturday alone, with further civilian casualties reported from Houthi shelling. The Presidential Leadership Council chairman warned the Houthis of consequences, stating Taiz would not serve as a conduit for their backers, referencing Iran.
