[Al Jazeera] Yemeni forces, backed by Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and the United Arab Emirates, have seized control of a hospital in the western city of Hodeidah which was taken over by 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 ... fighters earlier this week.
The AFP news agency reported on Saturday that Yemeni soldiers captured the May 22 hospital in the city's eastern suburbs, which had been turned into a sniper position by Houthi fighters - in violation of international law.
A source in the city told Al Jazeera that Yemeni forces, numbering in the thousands, had also seized the Faculty of Engineering building of Hodeidah University, which sits just 4km from the city's vital port.
The source said the city's streets, which would normally be heaving with people and traffic on Saturday, were empty with the sound of shelling a near constant in the background.
Hodeidah, a large city on Yemen's Red Sea coast, is the latest battleground between the Houthis and a Saudi-UAE military alliance who have been fighting for control over the country for the past three and a half years.
Since November 3, there have been more than 200 air strikes reported in the city, with at least 150 confirmed deaths.
The Houthi-affiliated al-Masirah news outlet said more than 30 air raids were carried out in the neighbourhood of the hospital on Friday, killing at least two civilians, including a girl, and leaving at least 15 other civilians maimed.
The report could not be independently verified.

[DAWN] At least five civilians have been injured in Azad Jammu and Kashmire (AJK) due to "unprovoked" firing by Indian troops across the restive Line of Control (LoC), the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
Indian forces first targeted the civilian population in Leepa sector using heavy-calibre weapons, the ISPR said. Four citizens named Zaheer, Nasir, Munir and Shaukat, who reside in Bijildar and Battlian villages, sustained serious injuries.
In an update on the cross-border firing, the ISPR said a fifth civilian, 20-year-old Tania Bibi of Gujrakh village, was injured in Bagsar sector near AJK's Bhimber district.
"Pak Army effectively responded [to the firing] by targeting Indian posts," the statement added.

Though India and Pakistain are signatories to a November 2003 truce, the LoC and Working Boundary have consistently witnessed ceasefire violations for more than two years now.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Iraqi troops have foiled an attempt of a suicide kaboomer to blow up himself, north of Baghdad, a command said on Saturday.
In a statement, the Baghdad Operations Command said "security troops of the command, in cooperation with Federal Police, managed to kill a suicide attacker, who was wearing a suicide belt, north of the capital."
Troops, according to the statement, "managed to raid a hideout, where one of the murderous Moslems was taking shelter at. After following him, he was killed in Tarmiyah region, north of Baghdad."
Explosives were found in his possession, it added.
[An Nahar] A deadly boom-mobile in Iraq's djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the first since the city was recaptured from jihadists, has left residents shaken and terrified that past nightmares are returning to haunt them.
The blast late on Thursday hit the popular Abu Layla restaurant in Mosul, the northern city that for three years served as the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

When residents awoke to the scene of destruction on Friday morning, they feared their bloody past with IS was not yet behind them.
"We were liberated, so we thought that security was back," Mossab, a 25-year-old restaurant employee, told AFP.
"But now it's worse than ever."
Three people were killed and 12 maimed in the bombing, medical and security sources said.
The restaurant suffered significant damage. One side, which sits on a road junction, seemed to have its windows blown out and the facade partly sheared off.
The cars in the street all had shattered or cracked windscreens and were covered in black ash and debris.
Mossab's car, parked nearby, was one of them.
"I've been working for four years to save up to buy it, but it all went in the blink of an eye," he said, devastated.
Iraqi security forces deployed outside the restaurant on Friday, standing guard as cleaning crews worked to remove the debris.
Residents nervously came to inspect the damage.
Khodor Ali, a 38-year-old who lives nearby, was worried there would be more violence.
"If the security situation stays like this, then our future is in the gutter," he told AFP.

[An Nahar] U.S.-led coalition air strikes killed 26 civilians including 14 children Friday in a holdout of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group in eastern Syria, a Britannia-based war monitor said.
"Twenty-six IS family members including 14 children and 9 women were killed in coalition air strikes on Friday morning on the town of Hajin," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
On Thursday, coalition raids killed another seven civilians in the nearby village of al-Shaafa, Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said.
Both Hajin and al-Shaafa are in a last pocket under IS control in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor near the border with Iraq.
A coalition front man did not immediately reply for a request for comment.
The coalition has been backing a Kurdish-Arab alliance fighting the jihadists in the area.
IS overran large swathes of Syria and neighboring Iraq in 2014, proclaiming a "caliphate" in land it controlled.
But the jihadist group has since lost most of it to various offensives in both countries.
In Syria, the group has seen its presence reduced to parts of the vast Badia desert and the pocket in Deir Ezzor.

[AnNahar] Jihadists have killed at least eight Syrian government troops near a planned buffer zone around the country's last major rebel bastion, a monitor said on Saturday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the attack took place late on Friday in the north of Hama province near the planned buffer zone around rebel-held territory in neighbouring Idlib.
The attack was led by fighters of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham , an alliance led by Syria's former al-Qaeda branch which is the dominant force in Idlib, the Britannia-based monitoring group said.
"An assault by HTS targeted a Syrian regime position on the outskirts of the de-militarised zone" and was followed by festivities in which eight regime forces were killed, Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP. Two jihadists also died.
Rebel factions have said they withdrew their heavy weapons from the zone but HTS and other hardline groups have refused to pull out their fighters.
The deadly jihadist assault came hours after government troops killed 23 fighters of a formerly US-backed rebel group inside the planned buffer zone.
Idlib and some adjacent areas are the last major rebel bastion in Syria, where the Russian-backed government has in recent months retaken much of the territory it had lost since the civil war erupted.
It had threatened an assault on rebel territory around Idlib, which is home to some three million people, but the truce deal struck by Russia and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor.... averted it.
Aid organizations had warned that a fully-fledged offensive on Idlib could spark the worst humanitarian catastrophe of the civil war so far.
More than 360,000 people have been killed and millions displaced since the conflict erupted with the brutal repression of anti-government protests in 2011.
