Ambassador Dr. Al-Wasel further said, we are surprised by the Experts Group's claim that it did not receive specific information from the Coalition countries about the targeting procedures, although they were informed of the targeting mechanisms and procedures in place during the Group's visit to the Coalition's command in Riyadh. It is also surprising that the Experts Group bases its conclusions on guessing and expectations and its results on the examination of a limited number of violations, while its mandate includes all violations since September 2014. He pointed out that in this context, the report clearly ignored the widespread violations that occurred when Al-Houthi militias swept Yemeni cities, took control of the capital and the State's institutions and chased the President and his government's members, and this was the basis of the current Yemeni crisis. Ambassador Dr. Al-Wasel added that the report also ignored the fact that the Iranian-backed Al-Houthi armed militias' obstruction to enter humanitarian aid into Yemen and their detention of many vessels carrying aid and oil tankers as well as their looting of many of this aid. He drew attention that ballistic missiles, which exceeded 197 missiles that targeted the cities of the Kingdom represent a violation of international humanitarian law, which was not mentioned in the report when mentioning the violations of Al-Houthis, nor did the report address the main role of Al-Houthi militias in planting naval and landmines in violation of the international law. --More 13:57 LOCAL TIME 10:57 GMT 0014 www.spa.gov.sa/w756022
