Houthis Release Interviews With Saudi Service Members Captured During Recent Operation

Support SouthFront

On October 2, the Houthis’ media wing released interviews with six Saudi soldiers and officers who were captured during the recent Operation Victory from God.

The captives identified themselves as:

  • Lance corporal Ibrahim Rashid Ali al-Marri;
  • Corporal Dhafer Obaid Al Qahtani;
  • Soldier Hussein Ali Mohammed Issa al-Baidi;
  • Corporal Sultan Amer Ali Amer al-Nashir Bishi;
  • Soldier Saleh Rashid Mohammed Al-Zahrani;
  • Sergeant Abdo Mohammed Mohammed Al Shamhan;

In the interviews, the captives described how they were captured by Houthi fighters and reassured their families and commanders that they are being treated well by the Yemeni group. Some of them appeared to be lightly injured.

“A message to our governors, to King Salman bin Abdul Aziz, the guardian of Mohammed bin Salman; We did not see from our Yemeni brothers, but all the best,” Ibrahim Rashid Ali al-Marri said in the end of his interview.

More than 2,000 personnel of the Saudi-led coalition, including dozens of Saudi soldiers, were reportedly captured in the large-scale operation. The Houthis captured large areas in the southern Saudi province of Najran in the course of the operation, which took place between August and September.

The Houthis said that they will not identify all the Saudi personnel captured in the course of the operation in order to gain leverage in future prisoners exchange deals. Some of the missing Saudi service members are in fact dead and their bodies are being held by the Yemeni group.

EveryoneIsBiased

Saudi or ISIS. All the same Andrei! Same ideology. Same sponsors. Same aims and “beliefs”.

alejoeisabel

Mercenaries.

EveryoneIsBiased

It seems these are not the normal Houti prisoners like mercs from Yemeni tribes or Africa. Those are Saudi Military. Which makes them a pretty humiliating catch for the Saudis. ;)

You can call me Al

Probably not even that, just blokes that need money.

My view only.

They look a rather sad bunch, Al.

They probably realise that they will be punished for not dying in action when they are repatriated to the Saudi regime.

The death penalty perhaps :)

A couple of them look African. They may not be saudis by descent, but more recent immigrants enrolled in the army for easy money, and now captured by the Houthi.

DaBoiiiii

Africans have been immigrating and living in Arabian Peninsula for ages. Lots of Yemenis and Saudis are black.

Zionism = EVIL

Wow, if this is the pride of Saudi shitheads military then I would love to see what the average illiterate headchopper “soldier” looks like :) No wonder the Ansarallah are making mincemeat of these hapless cannon fodder morons. This is what $87 BILLION a year buys in Saudi Arabia these days, disgraceful. The $1.5 TRILLION question is, why aren’t the global bloodsucking Jew leeches dying for their Saudi patsies?
