| [DAWN] Strikes by Saudi-led coalition aircraft killed at least 54 people in attacks across Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... on Tuesday, including four children, the Houthi-run Sabanews.net news agency and residents said. Residents said the air strikes targeted two houses in Ans in Dhamar province, one of which belonged to a supporter of the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... group which the Saudi-led coalition is trying to dislodge from Yemen. Sabanews.net said 13 other non-combatants were killed in air strikes in the northern Saada province, a stronghold of the Houthi group which hails from the Zaydi branch of Islam. Air strikes also killed 13 people in attacks on roads and bridges in al-Mahawit province, northeast of the capital Sanaa, and 10 more in the nearby Hajja province, Sabanews.net said. |
