The Yemeni joint forces, on Thursday night , were able to carry out an ambush for a battalion of paid fighters ,loyal to the Saudi coalition, in the West Coast of Yemen.
The head of the revolutionary committee, Mohamed Ali al-Houthi, published a tweet on his Twitter page, in which he confirmed the death of a whole battalion, loyal to the coalition, while trying to attack the positions of the Yemeni joint forces in the west coast.
Abu Ahmed al-Houthi expressed his regret for the inevitable fate of the paid fighters of the battalion, especially in this holy month, blaming the coalition over engaging the paid fighters in battles during this holy month for Muslims.
In March 2015, Saudi Arabia and a coalition of its regional allies — mainly the united Arab Emirates and Jordan — started a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people later, the war has yielded little to that effect.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
According to several reports, the Saudi-led air campaign against Yemen has driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, as Saudi Arabia’s deadly campaign prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.
Yemen is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis with more than 22 million people in need and is seeing a spike in needs, fuelled by ongoing conflict, a collapsing economy and diminished social services and livelihoods.
A UN panel has compiled a detailed report of civilian casualties caused by the Saudi military and its allies during their war against Yemen, saying the Riyadh-led coalition has used precision-guided munitions in its raids on civilian targets.
