The terrorist Houthi militia closed a factory in the "Bani Hashish" district in Sana'a Governorate, which it is besieging for the second day in a row.

Local sources said that the Houthi militia closed the Al-Rawi factory in the drainage area northwest of Sanaa after the factory owner refused to pay new taxes to the benefit of the Lebanese Hezbollah.

The sources added that the closure of the factory came only a day after the Houthi militia besieged a drainage area in the Bani Hashish District to prevent protest marches by the people of the region to demand the killers of a member of the tribe who was killed by a gang headed by a Houthi leader.

Houthi harassment and levies caused about 26% of companies to close permanently, while about 41% of commercial establishments were forced to close their branches and lay off part of their employees, according to economists interested in this aspect.
