The attached video documents a column of dense smoke rising from a mountain ridge following a kinetic impact. Visual and topographic triangulation places the strike along the elevated axis of Al-Sayahi / Shari' al-Sittin.
➡️ Tactical and Evolutionary Assessment:
• Gateway Collapse: The strike on this specific height confirms that Houthi forces have successfully descended from Jabal Habashi, securing dominant observation and ballistic overwatch positions above the western gateway of Taiz City.
• Wadi al-Dhabab Interdiction: This positioning effectively severs the vital Wadi al-Dhabab highway, cutting the primary ground supply line and isolating remaining PLC forces inside the urban perimeter.
• Double Envelopment: Simultaneous heavy raids on the western heights (Al-Sayahi) and the eastern logistics hub (Al-Hawban) highlight a coordinated Houthi double-envelopment maneuver. The survival of the PLC's urban stronghold is now entirely dependent on ongoing Coalition air interdiction.
