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.

From the liberals viewpoint, the Saudis shouldn’t have done that, because it would *offend* the rebels and make them *angry*.

Liberals don’t seem to grasp the larger picture.
