Houthi attacks on Saudi civilians violate international law, says Yemeni rights official

Khaled Al-Fakhri, president of the National Society for Human Rights, stated that Houthi militia attacks targeting civilians in Saudi Arabia constitute a serious violation of international humanitarian law and require international accountability.

Speaking to Al-Ekhbariya TV, Al-Fakhri added that the Houthi militia exerts pressure on families and deprives them of services to force them to hand over their children, who are then sent to fight on the front lines.

The Yemeni rights advocate also stressed that the recruitment and exploitation of children in armed conflict by the Houthis is among the most dangerous violations, threatening their lives and infringing on their fundamental rights.

It is noteworthy that the Iran-backed Houthi militias continue to commit rights abuses inside Yemen, insisting on fueling the crisis rather than contributing to its resolution. The group maintains its siege of Taiz province, while the Yemeni army confronts them on all fronts.
