ISIL releases video announcing official presence in Yemen
The ISIL Takfiri militants have released a video purportedly announcing their official presence in war-torn Yemen to “cut the throats” of Ansarullah fighters of the Houthi movement.
“We have come to Yemen, with men hungry for your blood to avenge the Sunnis and take back the land they have occupied," an ISIL commander said in a propaganda video released on Friday.
The group’s leader goes on to call on all able-bodied men in Yemen to join in on the war against the Houthis.
The video shows 18 Takfiri militants supposedly training in a desert region which they claim is near the Yemeni capital Sana’a.
On Saturday, seven militants and 22 Ansarullah fighters lost their lives in heavy clashes in the southern town of Daleh, Yemeni officials said.
According to reports, nine more Houthi fighters were also killed in an ambush in the town.
On Friday, Amnesty International called for an immediate investigation into the Saudi aggression against Yemen, which has claimed the lives of hundreds of civilians so far.
The Western-backed ISIL terrorist group controls parts of Syria and Iraq, and has been carrying out horrific acts of violence such as public decapitations and crucifixions against all communities such as Shias, Sunnis, Kurds and Christians.
Saudi Arabia started its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 - without a UN mandate - in a bid to restore power to the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a close ally of Riyadh.
According to reports, nearly 1,000 people have been killed during the aggression.
