'Here were houses'

Videos have been posted on the internet showing the aftermath of Saudi Arabia's bulldozing of a Yemeni village (reported hereyesterday). "Here were houses," a man says in one of them. There doesn't seem to be much left of the village and I can't help thinking that if the Israelis had done this, including destroying the mosque, there would have been an almighty fuss.

The Saada Online website (in Arabic) has links to more videos – scroll down to the bottom of the page.
