Saudi-Led Coalition Says 145 Yemen Rebels Killed Near Marib
2021-11-04
[An Nahar] The Saudi-led military coalition 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...
said Wednesday it has killed 145 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...

in 24 hours in air raids near Marib, the final northern stronghold of pro-government forces.

The coalition, which backs Yemen's internationally recognized government, has reported near-daily strikes over the past three weeks that it claims have now inflicted more than 2,000 lives among the Iran-backed Houthis.

But the murderous Moslems, who have for months waged an offensive against the government stronghold, rarely comment on losses, and AFP can not independently verify the tolls.

"Eighteen military vehicles have been destroyed and 145" murderous Moslems killed in the latest 24 hours, the Saudi-led coalition said in a statement published by Saudi 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. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
's official SPA press agency.

The rebels were killed in raids in the Sirwah district, east of Marib city, it added.

The coalition has since October 11 issued near-daily reports of bombing around Marib, saying it has killed a total of around 2,450 murderous Moslems in the area.

The Huthis began a major push to seize the city in February and, after a lull, they renewed their offensive in September.

A pro-government military official had told AFP on Tuesday that the rebels have made "new advances amid ongoing festivities with pro-government troops".

Another loyalist official confirmed the murderous Moslems were edging closer to the city.

The Huthis said Tuesday they were on the outskirts of the city.

Yemen's civil war began in 2014 when the Huthis seized the capital Sanaa, prompting Saudi-led forces to intervene to prop up the government the following year.

Tens of thousands of people have died and millions have been displaced in what the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
