An amateur video allegedly shows Saudi military personnel torturing Yemeni civilians over throwing their lot with Houthi fighters.

Suspected Saudi forces are shown in the video beating Yemeni detainees with metal wires apparently inside a Saudi security building near the Yemen border.

The Yemeni offensive against Houthis, which was joined by Riyadh in November, has so far claimed the lives of many civilians and displaced thousands of others from their homes in northern villages.

Yemen has stepped up its military operation in the region despite an offer by the Houthi leader to end the six-month conflict. Abdul Malik al-Houthi accepted five points of the government’s conditions for truce.

Sana’a, however, rejected the offer, pointing to a sixth condition stipulating a Houthi pledge not to attack Saudi Arabia. Despite the Houthi fighters’ pledge to meet the sixth point, both Yemen and Riyadh have declined to sign a truce deal with them.
