On 19 March 2024, Houthi militants in Yemen blew up a house in the city of Radda, the capital of al-Bayda governorate, killing at least 12 people, nine of which were from the same family.[4]
A day before the attack, two Houthi fighters were killed in an ambush allegedly set up by the house's owner, Ibrahim al-Zalei.[4] Local media reported that the Houthi attack targeted the homes of the Al-Naqus and Al-Zayla’i families in retaliation for the killing of two Houthi members, who were allegedly shot by a member of the latter family the previous Sunday.[5]
