A Shiit Houthi sniper killed an elderly civilian in Yemen's central Taiz province on Monday, the second sniping crime in a week and a form of premeditated murder Houthis have been committing on almost weekly basis in the besieged province's city center since 2015.
The Shiit theocratic militant shot dead 60-year-old Hazaa Hassan Abdu Hamid while he was shepherding goats on Alghabra hill in Maqbana district to the west of the provincial capital, local sources have said.
The bullet ripped through the elderly's head rendering him dead immediately.
