Unlike Houthi-controlled Rabuah, Najran is a large metropolitan city that is considered one of the key strongholds for the Saudi Royal Army and regime, AMN reports.
Video footage from this battle was released on Thursday, showing the Houthi forces overlooking Najran from the south.
If Najran is lost to the Houthi forces, then the Saudi Army will be forced to mobilize a much larger contingent to help retake this city, which will cause them to redirect their focus from other countries in the region.
