Al-Houthi comments on coalition’s accusations of fabricating “the military operation in Jizan”

SANAA, May 31 (YPA) – Top member in the Supreme Political Council, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, has commented Monday on the coalition’s accusation that Sanaa fabricates media victories, regarding the recent military operation in the Jizan axis in the southwest of the kingdom.

He announced willingness to exchange the bodies of those killed with the Saudi side.

“If the scenes of  the military operation in Jizan have brought terror to you and not understanding what they really are, how will you describe the coming operation scenes,” Mohammed al-Houthi said on Twitter, addressing the Saudi-led coalition.

“For those who question the military operation and the scenes, we tell them, we are ready for an exchange of the  dead bodies of coalition via the Red Cross,” he added.

He called on the TV channels questioning the veracity of the scenes broadcast by “Ansarullah” about Operation Jizan Axis, to “interview the soldiers whose photographs appeared on the sites,” as “a real test to prove the opposite of what was shown in Jizan.”

Last Saturday, the Yemeni army, backed by the Popular Committees launched a major military operation against Saudi army troops and their mercenaries in Jizan region, in the southwest corner of Saudi Arabia.

During the operation, the Yemeni forces were able to liberate more than 150 square kilometers deep inside Saudi territories, a military official said.

According to the official, more than 40 positions in the Jizan axis were liberated in the operation, in which various combat units participated.
