Local sources reported that the people of the "Al-Hafra" neighborhood in the city of Radaa in Al-Bayda Governorate expelled Houthi leaders after they tried to persuade the families of the victims to bury their relatives before trying those accused of the crime.

The sources explained that the people of Al-Hafra neighborhood expelled the Houthi mediator who tried to convince them to bury the victims in exchange for paying 10 million riyals for each victim, which they called a “burial dress.”

The sources added that the families of the victims and residents of the neighborhood considered this an attempt to whitewash the crime amid their assurances that the victims would not be buried except with the Houthi leaders involved.

The sources indicated that the Al-Bayda tribesmen declared their solidarity with the people of Radaa city, stressing that they all refused to be buried unless those involved were executed or the Houthi group was expelled from the governorate.

The Houthi group committed a crime against the people of the Al-Hafra neighborhood in the city of Radaa after blowing up 8 houses on the heads of their residents in a crime that exceeded the Israeli crimes against the Palestinians, which killed 20 people and injured 18 others.
