Houthi projectiles leave 13 Saudis injured
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Projectiles fired 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... militias in 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... left at least 14 people injured in the Saudi city of Dhahran, South of the Kingdom, Saudi Civil Defense reported. The Civil Defense Directorate announced on its Twitter account, that 13 Saudi citizens and one expat were maimed in the attack that simultaneously damaged three houses. Last week, Saudi artillery responded by directly hitting Houthi targets following similar rockets attacks in the border towns of Jazan and Najran. Posted by: Fred 2016-11-11 |
