Houthi military footage shows ridge fighting around Yemen's Taiz

ET Now World's compilation draws an unusually large audience, but a date spoken in the footage precedes the upload.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 47,002 views a day, 111 times a normal first day on this channel (423).

  1. 0:00Houthi military footage shows machine-gun and small-arms fire across mountainous terrain.
  2. 5:11An anti-tank missile strikes a tank on an urban road below.
  3. 6:10Fighters display equipment and ammunition presented as captured from fortified positions.
  4. 7:06A fighter says Houthi forces have taken several positions on the al-Dhabab front in Taiz Governorate.
  5. 12:33A fighter on a mountaintop gives the date as October 27, 2026, preceding the report's upload.

Machine-gun fire crosses mountain slopes, a missile strikes a tank on a road below, and fighters display weapons they present as captured equipment. ET Now World's report on fighting around is built from footage supplied by military media, showing the conflict through one side's cameras.

The upload reached about 21,000 views in seven hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for a regular video. Its on-screen credit identifies Ansar Allah Media and Houthi Military Media as the source.

The compilation moves between exchanges of fire across rocky ridges, artillery strikes and fighters entering fortified positions. In a speech, a fighter says the group has taken several positions on the al-Dhabab front in Taiz Governorate. Those territorial gains are the fighters' account, rather than an independently established outcome of the footage.

There is also an important distinction between the upload's timing and the scenes it contains. Near the end, a fighter gives the date as October 27, 2026, while standing on a mountaintop. That dates his statement, not necessarily every sequence in the compilation, but it places at least that segment before ET Now World's November upload.
