Houthis will not break into the city because storming it will cause a great loss to militants, due to the mountainous nature of the city, but the blockade strategy stifles tribes and will put them in an awkward position after days., he added.

Prospects of victory of the resistance in this battle will increase if the warplanes of the Arab coalition enter this battle, either by multiplying the supply of the Houthis military, or to supply the resistance with weapons and food, Wosabi stated.
