Houthis Reportedly Capture Jabal Al-Habashi on Yemen’s Taiz Front

October 3, 2026 | WAR MONITOR

Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, commonly known as the Houthis, has reportedly captured Jabal Al-Habashi from forces aligned with the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) during ongoing fighting on the Taiz front.

Recent reporting indicates intensified Houthi operations around Taiz, while other conflict-monitoring sources have also reported fighting around Jabal Al-Habashi and advances on nearby fronts.

Footage circulated by OSINT account War Noir purportedly shows Ansar Allah personnel in the area operating a technical vehicle fitted with what appears to be a heavy machine gun. WAR MONITOR has not independently authenticated the footage or confirmed that Ansar Allah has established full control of Jabal Al-Habashi.

Independent verification is pending.
