Local sources report that an elderly woman, her husband, and their daughter were subjected to a violent assault inside their home in the Bani Al-Harith district, north of the Houthi-controlled capital Sana'a, sparking widespread local outrage. The sources indicated that an armed group, led by an individual identified as Abdullah Daghaish—a social figure known for his allegiance to the Houthi militia—stormed the family's residence and physically attacked the occupants. The immediate motives behind this incident have not yet been disclosed. Local human rights sources confirmed that the victim identified as the elderly woman is known as "Umm Ahmed Al-Raimi." These sources suggest the assault is part of a broader pattern of escalating complaints regarding abuses targeting civilians, including women and the elderly, within areas under the militia's control. |
