Houthi wimmin sack SanaaNot really. Always wanted to write a headline like that.
[Al Arabiya] After recruiting children to fight their war, Houthi militias are now using women fighters to start breaking into homes and looting valuable items, local sources in the capital Sanaa confirmed.
They stormed and looted one house on Tuesday night in al-Hasba neighborhood north of the capital Sanaa. Sources said they were able to do so with the help of Houthi militiamen, who arrested family members of the house in question.
Earlier this month, footage and images of the parade – held by women loyal to the Houthi movement – circulated on social media, showing children and infants alongside women carrying rifles and heavy artillery as they paraded in trucks declaring support to the militias.
In a video report by Houthi-affiliated news channel al-Masirah, children and infants were seen holding rifles and pledging to protect their homeland.
“We will defend our country, till the last drop of our blood,” a young girl at the parade tells al-Masirah news channel, while a woman participating in the ceremony says: “On one shoulder I carry my child and on the other shoulder I carry my weapon.”
