A Saudi general has been killed in the south of the country near the border with Yemen, where he had been “defending the country”, the army announced on Sunday. Brigadier General Ibrahim Hamzi, deputy commander of the 8th brigade in Jazan, died from his injuries after being taken to hospital, Saudi Arabia’s official news agency said, without giving the date or exact circumstances of the incident.
He is the second high-ranking Saudi military official to have been announced killed on the Yemen border this week. A colonel and another border guard were killed late on Friday in a gun battle after a landmine blast along the frontier with Yemen, according to the interior ministry.
Several other Saudi soldiers have also been killed since March when the kingdom formed an Arab coalition to fight Shiite Houthi rebels in Yemen. In June, a Saudi lieutenant colonel died in a landmine blast in Jazan, while another general was killed in cross-border fire in August. Riyadh launched air strikes against the Houthis to support the internationally-backed government of Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, which was losing ground.
