AhlulBayt News Agency - The King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa received a number of military officers and soldiers who returned to Bahrain after taking part in the war on Yemen at the Al-Sakhir Air Base, and granted them medals of honor.
The king praised the troops who participated in the war on Yemen which he described as a "supreme mission," claiming that "the courageous Bahrain Defense Force military men accomplished heroic acts and great victories with high spirit and competence."
King Hamad further expressed how proud he is of all of them, and grateful of "the significant and continued participation of the Bahrain Defense Force in operation ‘Decisive Storm and Restoring Hope' hand in hand with their brothers in the Saudi-led joint Arab coalition forces"
Yemen has been under military attacks by Saudi Arabia since late March last year in a bid to bring the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a Riyadh ally, back to power.
Over 8,270 people, among them 2,236 children, have been killed and 16,015 others injured since the onset of the aggression. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
