The strikes never went deep into Yemeni territory. You actually believe this garbage?? That Saudis killed civilians to end the war and pressure Alhouthi to surrender?? Okay this is how the story goes:
Houthis broke into our territory and executed two of our border guards and stole their jeep of which Alhouthis were singing their famous chant. And then they broke into our territory to circle around Yemeni forces and we will not allow such an act to happen in our territory not to mention the public uproar caused by the death of the two border guards. This lead to Saudi troops being sent to cleanse our territory from this incursion.
At first the Saudi forces had to clear out small towns and villages that was seized by Houthis in an act of an invasion. So we responded and sent our forces there. At first our troops being inexperienced were highly unorganized and that is when most of the deaths in our side came. But then we cleared up our act and got our stuff together by the end of the first few days.
Our airstrikes were not very precise due to our lack of Satellite locating capabilities so whenever we stopped them from one point they will come from another once from the left once from the right through tunnels they dug in the mountains which means this operation of theirs was planned perhaps years in advance already.
Here this is how it happened:
David Ignatius - Dazzling new weapons require new rules for war
And please not a single foreign soldier was there in the battlefield after all this war was merely a test for our capabilities and important lessons were learned and experience gained. You remind me of the Youtube Commentters saying how the brave Houthis have defeated the Saudis and the Saudi government is paying "Jizyah" for Al-Houthi not to invade it again LoL. Fact is they were defeated and they have gone into hiding ever since never daring to even think of crossing the border. And this time we are a thousand times more prepared for them.
