Houthi Militias Dismantle and Loot Landline Network in Al-Shahil District

In a troubling development, Houthi militias, backed by the Iranian regime, dismantled the landline telephone network in the Al-Shahil district of Hajjah Governorate. Local sources report that the militias not only disassembled the network but also stole all associated equipment.

Impact on Local Residents

According to eyewitness accounts, the militias targeted the network in the Al-Amroor area and transported the equipment to regions under their control. This action has deprived residents of landline telephone services for the first time in over two decades, sparking widespread outrage among the local population.

Possible Motives Behind the Actions

Sources speculate that the primary motive behind this operation is to extract copper for military purposes. Additionally, the militias may intend to sell the iron poles for financial gain, further benefiting their members.

Ongoing Destruction of Infrastructure

The Houthi militias continue to engage in acts of looting and destruction of infrastructure in areas they control. These actions represent a blatant violation of citizens’ rights and undermine essential services.
