On Monday, the 9th Thunderbolt Brigade reinforced its military positions in Tur Al-Baha, in the face of the escalation of the "Muslim Brotherhood" who seek to secure outlets for arms smuggling in the beaches of Lahj for trade, or in preparation for their wars against the western and southern coasts from "Taiz".

NewsYemen's sources said that the commander of the Brotherhood's Fourth Infantry Brigade, Abu Bakr al-Jabouli, deployed security points in Tur Al-Baha, north of Lahj governorate, against the background of the southern forces seizing missiles and weapons smuggled through the Al Maqatara Directorate.

The sources said that the son of Sabiha Sheikhs, Sheikh Abdulrahman Jalal Shaher, intervened and forced the leader of the Brotherhood Al-Jabouli to withdraw the created sites and security points, today.

Shaher had previously warned the Brotherhood leader Abu Bakr al-Jabbouli of the danger of the military mobilization taking place in the axis of the so-called Tur al-Baha in favor of the Islah party, stressing that not responding to his plan during the last period was concerning for the social fabric.

The official spokesman for the Abyan front, Muhammad al-Naqib, confirmed that the Sabiha tribes and the heroes of the 9th Thunderbolt Brigade forced the Muslim Brotherhood to remove their points from the entrance to Tur Al-Baha.

Local sources confirmed to NewsYemen that the 9th Brigade pushed, on Monday, military reinforcements to the military sites in Tur Al-Baha to counter the movements of Al-Jabouli and members of the Brotherhood militia.

The sources said that the brigade today sent hundreds of its members, accompanied by dozens of crews and military tanks, as the first batch of a military deployment in the areas of Tur al-Baha, adjacent to the spread of the al-Jabouli Brigade.

Stressing that the other batch will include tanks, rocket launchers and other military equipment in preparation for the leadership of the 9th Brigade, Thunderbolt, due to the military mobilization in the Tur Al-Baha district and the attempt to create sites for the Brotherhood militia.

The commander of the brigade, Brigadier General Farouq Al-Kaalouli, warned in a press statement against any movement of anti-southern forces in the areas of Al-Sabiha, stressing the ability of the brigade, in cooperation with the Sabiha tribes, to confront them.

Al-Kaalouli sent a message to the people of Sabiha who received arms and support from the Brotherhood to create military sites, that they would be theirs if they returned to the side of the south.

He stressed that most of the leaderships that the Brotherhood granted leadership of fake brigades, are leaders loyal to the south, stressing that the Brotherhood has no acceptance in the areas of Sabiha.
