Saudi-led coalition accuses Houthis of Hodeidah hospital attack

RIYADH: The Saudi-led coalition on Friday accused the Houthi militia of carrying out an attack on a hospital and fish market in Yemen that killed dozens of people.

Coalition spokesman Col. Turki Al-Maliki said the Iran-backed group targeted the sites in the port of Hodeidah on Thursday with mortar shells in what he described as a “terrorist attack.”

Again, what happens over there, often what we are told is "counter-intuitive", it goes against how at least, I would see it.

I don't know about this case, in other cases in that war, I believe the US has provided the Saudi-led coalition with intelligence. Support like that.

And, and of course, weapons, Senator Paul has co-sponsored a bill that would oversee such weapons sales. Canada and the UK too, at the least, seem to provide those countries with weapons too.
