Al-Salami condemns Houthi use of civilians as shields to launch terror

[23/08/2020 02:27]

CAIRO - SABA
The Speaker of the Arab parliament Mishaal Al-Salami condemned as "a war crime" the Houthi constant exploitation of civilians as a shield to launch terrorist attacks against populated regions south of Saudi Arabia.

In a press statement today, Al-Salami said the Yemeni Houthi militia fired a booby-trapped drone and a ballistic missile towards the city of Jazan south of the Kingdom on Saturday evening, before the Arab Coalition forces intercepted and destroyed them.

"These terrorist attacks, occurring on repeat, have lately increased at a serious rate. They must constitute an alarm to the international community about the risks of not extending the arms ban on Iran."
