Yemeni government forces have reported new territorial gains in Al-Jawf and Taiz as Operation Dawn of Yemen enters its second month, with the cumulative number of reported targeting operations exceeding 40,000 since early October.

According to military statements issued on November 4–5, government forces conducted 2,620 targeting operations, reportedly neutralizing approximately 780 Houthi fighters and commanders and destroying or disabling 246 military vehicles and pieces of equipment.

Advances in Al-Jawf and Taiz

Units from the First and Third Emergency Divisions captured Houthi positions in Umm Lafifah, Qurun Al-Sabir and Duhaydat Al-Aqir in Al-Jawf governorate.

The advances build on earlier gains around the Duhayda and Huwayshan mountain ranges, increasing military pressure along the approaches to Al-Hazm, the governorate's capital.

Military engineering units are clearing mines and booby traps from recaptured positions.

In Taiz, government forces and allied resistance fighters captured the Sanamat area and repelled Houthi counterattacks across several fronts.

Cumulative military figures

Based on previously compiled figures published by Sheba Intelligence and subsequent military statements, the preliminary cumulative figures through November 5 stand at:

• 40,127+ targeting operations since the offensive began.

• 20,408+ Houthi personnel reportedly neutralized.

• 2,620 operations conducted during November 4–5.

• 780 personnel reportedly neutralized during the same period.

• 246 military vehicles and pieces of equipment destroyed or disabled over those two days.

The continued combination of ground advances and sustained aerial and artillery operations suggests that government forces are seeking to consolidate territorial gains while maintaining pressure on Houthi military capabilities.

However, the offensive's strategic outcome will depend on whether government forces can secure the recaptured positions, maintain supply routes and advance toward key Houthi strongholds.

The figures are based on Yemeni military announcements and Sheba Intelligence’s earlier reporting. They have not been independently verified. Targeting operations include multiple types of military fire missions and should not be interpreted exclusively as airstrikes.
