[ColonelCassad] A fresh video from the Houthis drove up with a bend of Saudi mercenaries and Hadists in the Al-Bayda province (not so long ago, ISIS was piling up there).
The videos presented clearly demonstrate what it means to run away in an open area under heavy fire from machine guns from machine guns.
At the end, it is shown how some of them surrender to the Houthis and receive medical assistance. As a result of the fighting, the interventionists lost several dozen people in killed, wounded and prisoners, plus about 10-12 carts and armored combat vehicles.
Adds Rozhin:
It is worth noting that today the Saudi coalition condemned the Houthi UAV attack on a Saudi commercial vessel. The attack, according to the Saudis, was unsuccessful and deserves all condemnation.
Also, several pro-Saudi sources hint that an Israeli ship attacked by a UAV (1 crew member from Romania and a British PMC was killed) could also have been attacked by a Houthi UAV.
An anonymous American official also said that the United States is inclined to believe that the Houthis could be behind the attack on the Israeli ship. The Saudis also said that their fighters were able to shoot down a UAV that flew into Saudi Arabia from Yemen.
