The units of the People’s Army of Sahrawi Liberation (APLS) led new attacks against the entrenched posts of the Moroccan occupation forces in the regions of Ben Zegga and Lagtitra (Haouza sector), and against the 31st and 41st posts of the enemy alert in Targant and Arbib El Gaa in the same sector. APLS units had also carried out attacks in the region of Agouira Ould Ablal and Aguerarat El Farsig in the Mahbes sector, and against the 7th base of the Moroccan occupier in the Aousserd sector.
Already on Monday, the APLS had attacked Moroccan positions in the Aousserd sector, targeting their entrenchment in the regions of Aguelibat El Agaya and the south of Aguelibat El Agaya. The occupation forces replied to the APLS raids by air strikes. The head of the sixth military region, Abba Ali Hamudi, member of the National Polisario Secretariat, was thus killed with three other fighters in the Mahbes region, by a drone attack that Morocco bought in Israel.
During the Trump administration, the US government worked to normalize relations between Morocco and Israel in exchange for Israel recognizing Western Sahara, which Morocco has colonized since 1976, as Morocco’s legitimate territory. Under Biden, the US has continued the same policy as Trump, also recognizing Western Sahara as Moroccan territory, despite no other countries in the world recognizing Morocco’s sovereignty of this colonized territory.
