The Houthi group launched an unprecedented crackdown on three districts in the western province of al-Hodeida.
A local source told Newsyemen that the Houthi militias arrested six people of al-Jame'a, al-Zarebah, al-Tarbeya in Zabeed city, south al-Hodeida province.
Witnesses confirmed that Houthi militias burnt a straw house for Hussein Abdo Bokhmi's house in al-Zarebah area after the severe beating Mr. Bokhmi in front of his family's members.
The Houthi militias arrested four men on Sunday before returning on Monday to abduct three others of their relatives.
Eyewitnesses said to Newsyemen that the Houthi militias kidnapped the child Ahmed Saghir Abdullah Maqlawi, pointing out that the child was not more than ten years old.
The Witnesses said that the militias forcibly took the child out of the hands of his mother and sister, who were shouting ""This is a child what are you doing with him, Oh criminals?" Houthi gunmen said to them: "We will burn his father's heart Oh Dawaesh."
The witnesses added that the Houthi militias arrested another man who tried to mediate the child, accusing him of being a Daeshi.
The Houthi militia fired live bullets at a horizontal level to spread terror and drive out the neighborhood residents who began to gather at the moment of the child's assault and his abduction with one of his neighbors.
