AIPolitical analyst Dr. Ahmed Al-Shahri stated that the Houthi militia does not differentiate in its targeting of mosques, schools, and civilian sites.
Speaking to Al-Ekhbariya TV, Al-Shahri added that the Houthi militia acts as a tool of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and called on the Yemeni people to unite behind the legitimate government to defeat the coup.
He continued that the militia's actions have proven it receives orders from the Revolutionary Guard to launch missiles as instructed, deliberately targeting civilians. He noted that this should make it clear to the Yemeni people that it is time to unite against the coup, which has resulted in thousands of deaths and now threatens international shipping.
This comes as the Yemeni army continues operations to drive out the Iran-backed Houthi militia from various fronts and strategic sites, with strong support from Yemeni tribes who reject the Houthi coup and back the advance of government forces to restore control across the country.
