A civilian woman sustained serious injuries on Friday, July 31, 2026, after being targeted by a Houthi militia sniper in the Maqbanah district, west of Taiz Governorate. Local sources reported that Fawzia Hassan Ahmed, 28, was shot by a sniper belonging to the militia, who was positioned in the mountains of the Upper Al-Qahifa district. The incident occurred while she was tending to her sheep, resulting in a critical injury. The sources added that the victim was transported for medical treatment, amid concerns regarding the severity of her condition. The incident has sparked widespread discontent among residents, who have accused the Houthi militia of persistently targeting civilians in the conflict zones of the Maqbanah district. The Houthi terrorist militia continues its pattern of targeting civilians, particularly women and children, through sniping and direct shelling in proximity areas. This has led to numerous casualties, including fatalities and injuries, constituting repeated violations of international humanitarian law. |
