Ansarallah drones attempt to bomb southern Saudi Arabia
2020-06-02
[ALMASDARNEWS] The command of the joint forces of the Arab Coalition announced the interception and shooting down of two drones allegedly launched by the Ansarallah forces towards the Khamis Mushait region in southwestern 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...
A front man for the Arab Coalition, Colonel Turki al-Maliki, said today on Monday, "Today, Monday, coalition forces intercepted and shot down two drones fired by the Iranian-backed terrorist Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...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 legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. 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 Americaâ„¢, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
militia towards civilian areas in the city of Khamis Mushait."

Maliki pointed out that "the Houthi militia continues to violate international humanitarian law by launching drones and deliberately targeting civilians, as well as population gatherings that threaten the lives of hundreds of civilians."

He stressed that "the leadership of the joint forces of the coalition continues to take and implement deterrent measures against the Houthi Lions of Islam to neutralize and destroy these capabilities strictly, in accordance with international humanitarian law and its customary rules."

Al-Maliki said that these "hostile and terrorist acts using drones are a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and confirm the rejection of the ceasefire and escalation initiative announced by the coalition, which began on April 09, 2020 and there was no response."
