Tihama resistance expels Tariq Afash forces from al-Khokha

HODEIDAH, July 13 (YPA) – Gunmen of the so-called “Tihama resistance” expelled the UAE-funded “Tariq Afash” forces after trying to seize the security directorate in al-Khokha city, south of Hodeidah province.

According to local sources in the city, dozens of military vehicles carrying fighters affiliated with the Tihama resistance loyal to Islah Party led by Ahmed al-Kawkabani imposed their control on the building of the security directorate, refusing to hand over the city to “Tariq Afash”.

The sources pointed out that the Tihama resistance gunmen took control of all entrances and exits of al-Khokha.

This comes after Tariq Afash forces refused to release the kidnapped Shoaib al-Kawkabani during the past days.
