Saudi-Led Warplanes Pound Yemen School, Kill Students
2015-04-08
[ALMANAR.LB] Saudi warplanes continued striking the various Yemeni cities, inflicting heavy losses upon the civilians.

The Yemeni air defense systems also kept repelling the hostile air raids, according to Al-Manar news hound.

At least three Yemeni students were martyred on Tuesday when Saudi-led warplanes pounded a school in the southwestern Ibb province.

CNN quoted Yemeni officials as saying that three students had been killed at the Al Sibtain School in Maitam, in southwestern Yemen, as a result of an Arclight airstrike.Saudi strike on Yemen

It added that the strike was targeting Al Hamza military base, noting that the school is about 500 meters from the base, and that the schoolchildren were heading to their lunch break when the attacks took place, the officials said.

Press TV cited media reports as it put the corpse count of the latest strike in Ibb at six students.

Dozens of civilians have been killed in the air raids carried out by the Saudi-led coalition.

At least 74 children are known to have been killed and 44 children maimed since the fighting began on March 26, UNICEF said in a statement on Monday.

Human rights watchdogs slammed Riyadh for its aggression on the Yemeni residential areas.

#4  I suspect the bad guys are hiding in schools. They often do. I also wouldn't doubt if a number of students are also members of the bad guys.

#2  Al-Manar is a bought-and-paid-for Hesb'allah broadcasting network. It's designated as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Entity.

Also a favorite target of the IAF when in season, btw.

#1  Reads like one of those fluffy bunny reports from our air assault on Iraq.

Some of this, I bet is almost verbatim from those old news articles.

Who ghost writes for these guys?
