SANA'A, Sep.15 (Saba)- One

tracking operations targeting the strongholds of al-Houthi rebels in al-Arkabah,
al-Modeer,
Reik and al-Surrah areas.
The Houthi rebels have been launching sporadic wars against the troops since 2004.
Thousands of people, soldiers and insurgents have been killed in Saada province,
which
is located close to border with Saudi Arabia, after the rebel group was founded by
rebel leader Hussein al-Houthi.
Hussein, the eldest brother of the current group leader Abdul-Malik, was killed by
the army in September 2004.

imams, which was toppled by a republican revolution in northern Yemen in 1962.
