Yemen: Catholic Church Attacked, Plundered by Houthi Rebels?

In an Arabic language tweet that has been picked up by various websites offering few other details, Mareb al-Ward writes: “Houthi militias stormed the St. Anthony Church in al-Tawahi, Aden, in Yemen.  They plundered the Catholic church of all its contents.”

At this time, no other Arabic or news sources are mentioning this incident.

The Houthis are a Shia-affiliated rebel group operating in Yemen.

They are also known as “Ansar Allah,” or the “Supporters of Allah.”
