Arab media maintain that pro-Iranian Shi'ite militia is attempting to cleanse country of last remaining Jews
The Houthi militia in Yemen, is reportedly rounding up the country's few remaining Jews, Egyptian newspaper Al Mesryoon claimed in a recent article.
According to the report as cited in Israeli outlet Arutz7, after being rounded up, the Houthis allegedly forced the Jewish residents of the Kharif District to sell their "homes, land and all their properties to Houthi leaders."
