A Houthi rebel sniper has killed a woman in Taiz in the latest incident of the sniping attacks against the city's civilians.
The sniper stationed in al-Saberi military hilltop outpost killed the woman (identified only as the wife of Hani Yahya Qambar) by shooting her in her neck in Al-Arbaeen area in the city on Tuesday.
The Shia Islamist militants invaded Taiz in March 2015 and have since been besieging the city and committing atrocities against the civilians; heavy bombardments and sniper shootings. Last March alone, the militants killed and injured 700 civilians, according to the Human Rights Information and Training Center, a local NGO, that regularly documents and publishes abuses in the city.
