VARIOUS OF FUNERAL CEREMONYSANAA, YEMEN - APR. 17, 2025: A funeral was held at Al Sha’ab Mosque in the Yemeni capital Sanaa for the victims of a US airstrike that targeted the home of the Al-Suhaili family in the city’s Sawan district. The ceremony drew a large crowd as mourners gathered to pay their respects to those killed in the attack. US airstrikes have killed at least 125 civilians since March 15 and injured 256, mostly women and children, according to Houthi data. The casualties exclude losses for the group’s fighters. US President Donald Trump said last month that he had ordered "decisive and powerful military action" against the Houthi group and later threatened to "completely annihilate them." The Houthis have targeted ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden since November 2023 in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where 51,000 people have been killed in a brutal Israeli assault for more than 18 months. The group halted attacks when a Gaza ceasefire was declared in January between Israel and the Palestinian resistance group Hamas but resumed them after Israel renewed airstrikes on Gaza last month.
