Over 100 rebels killed, 300 captured in northern Yemen

SA'ADA, Aug. 19 (Saba)-
Military operations are ongoing in northern Yemen with security forces seeking to
uproot the
subversives and the terrorists.

Well informed sources revealed that 100 rebels were killed over the last few days
in Sa'ada province and at Harf Sufyan in Amran province, the state-run
al-motamar.net reported
on Wednesday.
On the other hand, security forces captured 300 of al-Houthi rebels in al-Malahedh,
al-Mahadher and al-Taleh areas as well as other areas of Sa'ada after the rebels
controlled
those areas after they killed and displaced innocent citizens in those areas.
Security forces have took over several areas which Houthi rebels already
controlled, sweeping the areas to chase further rebels, the source said.
The source also said that security forces are about to eliminate the rebels and
take full control of the province, adding there is no any choice before Houthi
rebels except
to surrender themselves to the government, otherwise they would be killed in painful
strikes by security forces.
