Saudi Regime Massacres Over 120 Yemenis in 24 Hours

Saudi Regime Massacres Over 120 Yemenis in 24 Hours
Alwaght- The Saudi regime defies calls to stop its brutal war on Yemen by massacring over 120 people over the last 24 hours in the impoverished Arab country.
Reports say at least 70 people were killed in multiple Saudi airstrikes in the country’s western province of Amran on Monday and 50 others died after Saudi jets carried out raids on a local market in the southwestern Lahij province.
Several people were also killed as Saudi warplanes carried out a number of attacks in the northwestern Yemeni province of Sa’ada and the southwestern province of Ta’izz.
Earlier on Monday, the headquarters of a Yemeni party headed by former president Ali Abdullah Saleh was targeted in an aerial raid on the capital Sana’a.
Meanwhile on Monday, the Yemeni army backed by popular committees’ forces launched a series of retaliatory rocket attacks on various military positions in the Saudi Arabia’s southwestern Jizan and Najran regions.   
According to Yemeni sources, over 4,800 people have been killed since the start of Saudi aggression against the country on March 26.
Most those killed in the ruthless war are Yemeni civilians including children, women and the elderly. Saudi airstrikes also indiscriminately target civilian infrastructure such as mosques residential areas, hospitals, schools, universities, bridges, dams, historical heritage etc.
Recently, Human Rights Watch said Saudi airstrikes have destroyed houses, markets and schools in Yemen and this could amount to war crimes.
Saudi Arabia’s attacks on its war-battered neighbor are carried out without authorization from the United Nations.
The main objectives behind the Saudi aggression against Yemen are to weaken the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to the fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
