The death toll of Saudi American airstrikes that targeted a citizen’s house in Al-Dalea governorate has rose to 16 martyrs, mostly women and children.

“The victims toll of the aggression airstrikes on the house of Abbas al-Halmi in Qatabah, Al-Dhalea governorate, is 16 martyrs, including 7 children, 4 women and 5 men, while one of the paramedics was wounded after targeting them with two airstrikes this morning,” Armed forces spokesman Brigadier Yahya Sare’e said in a brief statement.

On Monday, the Saudi-led coalition committed a horrific crime in Al-Sawad area, Amran governorate, where 7 citizens, including women and children of the same family, were killed. The aerial aggression continued further into its crime, where it chased the family, a nomadic family, inside a mosque after fleeing their tent due to aggression raids in the area.

Two citizens were also killed after the US-backed coalition targeted their car with a missile in Al-Adi area of Harf Sufyan district on Sunday evening.

The Saudi-led coalition commits these massacres ignoring the president Mahdi al-Mashat’s initiative to halt strikes on Saudi Arabia in return for an end to the US-Saudi attacks on Yemen.

“We will wait for the favor to be returned with a similar or even better one by (Saudi Arabia) announcing a halt to all sorts of airstrikes against Yemeni territories,” President Al-Mashat said on Friday night.

He further confirmed, “we would not hesitate to launch a period of great pain if our call for peace was ignored.”

Following the initiative, the aerial aggression has stepped up its raids on various Yemeni governorates launching more than 100 airstrikes during the past three days. It also continued to violate the ceasefire, committing crimes in Hodeidah governorate, which serves as a practical refusal.
