That’s the thing about terrorists- they keep their women and children with them all the time. If they don’t have any, they’ll grab someone else’s to use as shields.

Reports like this always ignore the clear and obvious reading of Articles 28 and 29 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The forces attacked are responsible for any civilian deaths in the area they control on the ground. Those civilians qualify as Protected Persons within the enemy’s physical control, and cannot be used to render certain points and areas immune from military operations.

These feral psychopaths either don’t care or use the civilians as biodegradable sandbags.

There isn’t much to destroy in the Houthi provinces of Yemen’s northwest but it appears Saudi Arabia is prepared to lay waste to the region and rid Yemen of it Shia problem once and for all.

Any war with Muslims on both sides is a good thing; can’t put it more simply than that.
