The militias also continued their siege on the residents of Hamedan and Bani Hashish districts, and sent fighters and various weapons to tighten the siege on the two districts in order to force the people to hand over their lands to Houthi leaders.
In the Bani Al-Harith area, north of Sanaa, the tribes confronted the Houthi elements' attempt to spread their lands in the "Al-Khamis" area, in the first violent reaction from the tribes of the district against the militias, to join the Bani Hashish and Hamadan districts.
A tribal source stated that the tribes of Bani Al-Harith confirmed that they would not allow the Houthi robbery campaign to extend over land in their district, and any Houthi attempt would be resisted with weapons.
