Alwaght- The Saudi regime has managed to continue its brutal war on Yemeni people following the participation of Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom warplanes in airstrikes targeting civilians in the country, a Yemeni military official has revealed.
Yemeni army spokesman Brigadier General Sharaf Luqman said on Thursday that the US, Britain and Israeli warplanes are directly involved in bombardment of Yemen since as Saudi pilots are unable to conduct sorties with modern warplanes.
Brigadier General Luqman said that Yemeni army and fighters of the Ansarullah movement have so far downed three F-16 fighter jets, 10 Apache helicopters and dozens of drones.
In mid August last year, Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, Israeli regime's army spokesperson in a j o i nt press conference with Egyptian military officials in Cairo tried to insinuate the idea of potential Saudi-Israeli co-operation in striking Ansarullah fighters. Lerner did not explicitly specify whether the Israeli regime's F16 pilots themselves would take part in combat or just military assistance and experts are what Israel can offer.
"We have common enemy in Yemen…the Saudis are utterly hapless to rout rebels' encroachment, thus to break the status quo we made sincere proposals to our Saudi partners," the Kuwaiti News Agency (KUNA) cited the Israeli official as saying. has also been helping the Saudis in their nearly nine months of bombardment of Yemen by providing logistics and intelligence to the Saudi air force.
On Wednesday British Primes Minister David Cameron was accused of silently dragging Britain in to another conflict in the Middle East without parliamentary approval or oversight.
Angus Robertson, the Scottish National Party’s leader at Westminster, said the Prime Minister should admit to British involvement in Saudi Arabia’s invasion of Yemen – where the UK is providing arms, training and advice.
In November, the US state department approved the sale of $1.3bn of bombs to Saudi Arabia, to allow the Persian Gulf monarchy to replenish its depleted weapons supplies as it continues to conduct intensive air strikes in Yemen.
The Saudi regime is leading an Arab coalition aimed at pushing back the Ansarullah movement in order to reinstall the exiled government of President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
The UN says more than 7,000 people have been killed in the last 11 months of Saudi-led war on Yemen, with local sources saying the figure is much higher and that the casualties are mostly civilians especially women and children.
The international body has reported that more than 80 percent of the country’s 24 million people require some form of humanitarian assistance.
