The Yemeni Islah Party has been paying the price of its national positions supporting the legitimate authority in its war against the coup of the Houthi terrorist militias from the beginning of the war until the present time. And the various terrorist groups conspired against the Islah Party in the liberated and un-liberated governorates in order to silence and neutralize it from the battle, but this made the Islah Party more determined in supporting the legitimate authority and the Arab Alliance in the war on the coup and the restoration of the state.

The year 2018 was the bloodiest for the Yemeni Islah Party, where the terrorist operations that targeted the number of its leaders and cadres increased during this year compared to previous years. These operations resulted in the martyrdom of a number of leaders and cadres belonging to the Islah Party and the survival of others.
