Yemeni army forces take areas in eastern Jawf and uncover Islamic State prisons

Yemeni army and popular committees have purged areas in eastern al-Jawf Province of Takfiri militants and uncovered homes-turned-prisons that were run by the Daesh terrorist group.

Yemen’s al-Masirah TV channel released footage that uncovered prisons run by Daesh, and the cooperation between the terrorists and the Saudi-led coalition against Yemen in al-Jawf.

The video showed that Daesh terrorists had turned homes in al-Marwan district in eastern al-Jawf into prisons. It showed the basements where women and children had been tortured.

According to the report, Saudi Arabia conduced 15 airstrikes on factories used by al-Qaeda terrorists to make explosive devices and booby-trap cars shortly after the area was seized by the Yemeni forces in order to remove evidence and hide plans hatched against the Yemeni people.

On Monday, a civilian was killed and two others were injured in shelling of residential homes by Saudi mercenaries in the province of Hudaydah.

According to Yemeni media outlets, Saudi-led militants violated the ceasefire in the province 108 times on Sunday. The violations included 32 artillery and rocket attacks.

Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched the devastating war on Yemen in March 2015 in order to bring former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi back to power and crush the Houthi Ansarullah movement.

The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war has claimed more than 100,000 lives over the past five years.
