The battle of 'Amran was a battle that took place in the summer of 2014, between the Houthi rebels and the Yemeni government of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi belonging to units of 310th Armored Brigade, which is backed by Al-Islah loyalists, of which the Al Ahmar clan of Hashid tribes hailed from. The Houthis eventually won the battle, ending the Al Ahmar reign in Amran, and eventually leading them to the capture of Sanaa.
