The parallel lines are likely flood plains. I.e the water just spreads across open ground.

They're in Yemen so I doubt the flooding happens much

Flood plains don't need water to be flood plains. Its more of a topological feature.

Also, Yemen does seem to have serious flash floods every few years 2025, 2024, 2020 and 2008 had big floods.
