| 2018-02-03 |
| [ALMASDARNEWS] For the second time this week, the Saudi Army launched a big offensive in the southern part of the Najran region, targeting 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... positions near the Yemeni border. The Saudi Army stormed the al-Boaa Desert of the Najran region on Friday, striking the Houthi defenses along the Yemen-Saudi border in an attempt to reclaim this large area. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... the attack would not go as planned, despite the fact that the Saudi Armed Forces had the superior weaponry and manpower. According to the official media wing of the Houthi forces, their fighters foiled the big offensive in the al-Boaa Desert, killing and wounding a large number of Saudi soldiers in the process. The Houthi media wing added that their forces launched a swift counter-attack after the offensive in order to claim more ground from the Saudi Coalition. This latest attack by the Saudi Army marks the fourth time in two weeks that they have attempted to capture the al-Boaa Desert. |
