Alsahwa Net – Two children holding military titles in the Shia extremist militia of Houthis have been killed in the fighting against government forces in Marib, Yemeni media platforms reported.
“Captain” Al-Ameer Ali al-Hakem and First Lieutenant Asef Saeed Al-Shihari were killed in the recent confrontations in Marib,” reported Anbaa Aden news website. The story did not include the ages of the young militants but the pictures indicate they are young teenagers.
The sources said the families were lured by the military titles given to their children to get them into the warfronts. Yemeni NGOs and observers say the Houthi militia throughout its history is an army of radicalized children.
