Meanwhile, Lebanese Al Mayadeen TV put the number of people killed at 213.

A missile tore through the hall of the building, leaving many dead and injured, Reuters reported earlier, quoting eyewitnesses.

According to the news agency, a medic said that he saw “mutilated and charred bodies,” adding that the funeral was being held for the deceased father of the Houthi rebels’ Interior Minister. Military and security officials from the rebel movement are among the victims, according to the outlet.

AP earlier reported that at least 45 people had been killed in the bombardment.

“The place has been turned into a lake of blood,'' a rescuer, Murad Tawfiq, was quoted by the news agency as saying.

We need to get every American soldier/sailor/marine/airman out of the middle east.

America caused irreparable damage to these societies by (for example) toppling Saddam and supporting a civil war that killed 500,000 Syrians. Now you're just gonna pack up, pretend it never happened, and leave. Don't you wish collection agencies allowed you to handle your responsibilities that way?

...”it was civilians that made the weapons, grew the food, etc. . . .”

For example: Most never stopped to think about the fact that women, including nurses and secretaries, were a key, integral and enthusiastic part of the infrastructure of the mass murdering Third Reich. “Hitler’s Furies,” by Wendy Lauer, is a book that documents the biographies of a cross section of these women.

Probable reason for today’s brutal strike on a funeral in Yemen:

$100 Million Saudi HSV-2 Swift Destroyed Off Yemeni Coast By Anti-Ship Missile. Crew of 30 likely incinerated (no official announcement yet)

Well, despite the fact of the Saudis are total ass hats, this is something that America should’ve been doing with every Joe jihadi terrorist funeral that ever was or ever will be.

All bombs on Muslim territory land on weddings, funerals, or hospitals.

If you are a Sunni it’s awesome. If you live in Yemen, you really aren’t a rebel, and no, not so much.

Technically Houthies are a shia split off from Iranian shias and considered heathens, but Iran is playing pragmatic politics here.

Striking a funeral. And these are the guys our sociopathic oligarchs want to go to war with Russia for. Blood for oil. Now you know why the Russians are conducting civil emergency drills with 40 million people. Fixing to fry some sociopathic Oligarch butt before the Oligarchs strike first.

The deceased would have been proud. That’s pretty good turnout.

I have long thought that the IAF should target all high level HAMAS funerals , which they generate . Kill all whom attend . Same with Talib in Pak . Incinerate the funeral processions.
