"The Operation was launched with a large military deployment … in particular in the areas of al-Haysar, Qarat al-Fors, al-Dhalleyah and Lebnah."

Intelligence agents detected elements of the terrorist organization regrouping in those areas, after they had failed to hold against the ground of coastal Hadhramout leaving it to the advancing army troops.
