the time and place after collecting information about a target and it was khaled international airport east of riyadh targeted by a long range volcano ballistic missile this is in response to the continued aggression committing daily massacres against the yemeni people. the conflict in yemen pits the rebels from the north backed by iran and troops loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh against yemeni government forces back in two thousand and fourteen the who thiis and their allies took control of the yemeni capital sana'a. but the conflict widened early the following year when a saudi led coalition of arab countries state done with airstrikes to back up humans government in two and a half years the saudi led coalition has launched thousands of a strikes the same a strikes that have been repeatedly criticized by the united nations for disregarding the number of civilians killed and return who sees and their allies have fired

the missteps saudi arabia made with the war in yemen. today we saw this new dramatic change in what i would like to call or what even they they're calling a new balance of terror between the saudis and the whole things where i was not able to shoot ballistic missiles not only the goal is a thousand kilometers towards mecca but also more than that longer than that the worse we are towards the can khaled airport around riyadh so really the capacity of the home fees you know a renegade or if you will rebel group in yemen able to do that kind of action take that kind of step against saudi arabia is a proof that the saudis or the crown prince some particular has made a major fumble in his war in yemen and that this is a stretch to failure for so with the arabia and yemen all a sudden resignation of lebanon's prime minister has thrown the country into

political chaos said he feared an attempt on his life he lashed out at iran and celebrities ally hezbollah accusing them of destabilizing the region. reports from beirut. it was an announcement few were expecting. i hereby announce my resignation as prime minister from the lebanese government known as the will of the lebanese is stronger and that determination is steadfast and will overcome any attempts to impose any custodianship of them from powers either inside or outside our country long live the people of lebanon so henry's resignation was made from the saudi capital riyadh in a televised address criticize hezbollah and its key backer you ron. well. i would like to say to iran and its followers that they will be losers in their intervention in the arab to fast our nation will wake up as it did in the past and the hands in the region will be cut off really became prime minister in late two

thousand and sixteen and a compromise deal under which michel own a political ally of hezbollah became president the agreement ended two and a half years of political deadlock it which the country was without a functioning government and while hariri surprise decision to quit raises more questions than answers it puts into focus the regional rivalries lebanon often finds itself at the center of the leading sunni politician is backed by saudi arabia while has bola lebanon's most powerful political social and armed movement is sponsored by iran despite the complex nature of lebanese politics the thirty member unity cabinet appeared to be functioning until now it was a coup by all measures and it's like an invitation for instability and put into that country everybody was working for a program to rebuild the country economically politically we have an election there's a cohesion within the government there is agreement within the political party

who've been working a beautifully and then a phone call will come and the whole calculus of. thanks in the past five days had it he has made two separate visits to saudi arabia where he lived in self-imposed exile following the collapse of his last government there he met with crown prince mohammed bin cell none who is known for his aggressive stance against iran u.s. president donald trump's administration is also pursuing tough policies on iran and its allies including recent sanctions on hezbollah. resignation comes as the war in neighboring syria appears to be entering a new phase the government of president bashar al assad which is backed by iran is increasing control over part a larger. of the devastated country and it's feared that tensions which have been simmering inside lebanon since the start of the war between hezbollah and israel and elsewhere could not only reemerge but has the potential of escalating into
