Another day of
tactical sniping. One of our elders was shot and killed by sniper fire. His
name is Saaleh Al-Manna' ('Am Saaleh). He has been a supporter of the dawah
since the time of Sheikh Muqbil. He was known for his piousness and strong
nature as an elderly man. At the time of his murder he was fasting. May Allah
accept him and the rest that have been murdered in this oppressive act of
terrorism of the houthis as Shuhadaa, Ameen.

An 8 year old
girl named Sarah was shot by sniper fire as the Presidentially Committee were
present. The doctor said
after being shot in her leg the bullet took away a large piece of her
bone. Her father said she was picking sidr berries from the sidr tree with
another child. This is a past time for children here. When the berries appear
the children gather and one throws a shoe or some object to the tree to make
the berries fall. When they fall the children race frantically to get
as many berries as they can. Most people think it’s safe to roam when the
Presidential Committee comes. Many have been shot and sometimes murdered when
they (the committee) or the red cross comes. The houthis are known for
deliberately sniping at women and children.
Later that
night the Presidential Committee were meant to station soldiers on the
mountains to implement a cease fire. Some sort of altercation occurred between the Committee and the houthis. It is not clear what happened afterwards. Inshaa Allah we will follow-up this story and get some clarity.
