""Daesh" [so-called "ISIL"] and Al-Qaeda are present in [the southwestern Yemeni port city of] Aden. They might imminently take control of the city", said Abdolrahman Mokhtar.
He noted that "Israel" also backs the "Daesh" extremist group in Yemen.
""Israel" also supports "Daesh" and extremist groups just the way it backs them in Syria and provides them with weapons and medical aid", he further said.
The Ansarullah official termed Saudi Arabia "an equivalent of" and "the mother of" "Daesh", saying Riyadh and Tel Aviv are working in tandem to strike targets in Yemen.
The ’civilian’ death toll in Yemen has risen to more than 2,300 with more than 4,000 other civilians wounded in the fighting in the country that has raged for more than a year now, according to the UN recently last month [September]. Yet, other organizations put the death toll at much higher.
