Houthi militants arbitrarily shot injured four women in their house in the central Yemen governorate of Ibb on Sunday, local sources have said, as part of literally endless Houthi atrocities against civilians since 2015.
An influential Houthi militia wanting to widen a lane at the expense of a villager's private property in Alsahla village in Ibb's Hubaysh district set his face against the villager (Sadeq Al-Rifaee), had the poor man's house raided, the house brick fence knocked down and female family members shot injured.
When Al-Rifaee's female relatives tried to stand in the way of the gunmen who want to knock down the fence, the Houthi militants hurled a grenade and opened fire toward them injuring the four of them and an elderly one of them (in her eighties) now sustains critical injuries.
Apart from the war with the government forces and concomitant abuses, the Houthi militia's abuses against civilians in north Yemen - where they rule unrivalled – have been a way of daily life for the members of the terrorist militia.
