Last Thursday and Friday, the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militia committed 165 breaches of the UN truce on several fronts: Marib, al-Jawf, Saada, Hajjah, Hodeida, Taiz, and Dhale.
According to a statement issued by the Armed Forces Media Center and cited by the Yemeni News Agency, the Houthi militia continues to violate the UN truce on various battlefronts, as the army and the resistance forces commit to a comprehensive ceasefire as per the directives of the political and military leadership.
The statement said the Houthi violations included 59 violations on the Bahr al-Bahr axes west of Taiz and Hays south of Hodeida, 54 on the Taiz axis, 26 on the battlefronts west of Hajjah, 16 on the north, west and south of Marib, 5 on the Dhale axis, 4 on the Bekaa and Almalaheeth fronts on the Saada axis, and 1 on the east of Hazm city in Jawf province.
It said the Houthis have committed a variety of violations, including attempts to infiltrate military positions, firing Katyusha rockets, artillery, various bullets and car bombs on all fronts, creating positions, constructing side roads and bringing in reinforcements to various fronts.
The Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights condemned the Houthis’ continued violation of the truce and their crimes against all categories of civilians, particularly children, women and the elderly, and their shelling of populated areas with artillery shells and rockets.
The ministry said in a statement carried by the official Saba news agency: Preliminary statistics indicate that the number of violations of the truce since its entry into force at the beginning of April amounted to approximately 2,782. These violations included 656 violations on the Taiz front, 634 on the Al-Dali front, Lahij and Abyan fronts, 386 on the western coast front and Hodeida front, 555 on the Sa’dah Al-Baqaa front and 551 on the Marib and Al-Jawf fronts.
The ministry condemned the heinous crime committed by the group on Friday evening, when an artillery shell targeted a citizen’s house in the Hadhran area in Taiz province, killing a 5-year-old child and wounding his parents. The crime extends to Houthi crimes in Taiz and other Yemeni provinces, it said.
The Ministry stressed that committing crimes against civilians and using them for military gains undermines the humanitarian truce, in addition to being war crimes and crimes against humanity that are not subject to any statute of limitations, calling on the United Nations mechanisms, the Human Rights Council, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and all human rights workers to condemn these crimes and put pressure on these militias to stop targeting civilians and going to peace and to work to hold them accountable for these crimes.
