Houthis besiege Taiz villages, use civilians as human shields amid arrests

Houthi rebels are besieging villages in western Taiz, preventing residents from fleeing while conducting arrests and raids, and using civilians as human shields. Hundreds of families have fled to safer areas. This continues an established pattern of Houthi tactics in the Yemen conflict, with no reported change in intensity or scope.
