Saudi soldiers were forced to flee.”  “The control of al-Jabari post came as a retaliation for the Saudi continuous bombardment of Yemeni innocent civilians in Sadaa,” said the statement.  Muhammad Abdul-Salam, the rebel group spokesperson Friday said “the Saudis have tried, but in vain, to take back al-Jabri post and bombed it Thursday night,” but Saudi sources denied the claims saying they repelled an aggression by the Houthi insurgents.  Abdul-Salam said “fighting with Yemeni forces is intermittent in and around Sadaa province.”  Meanwhile, the Saudi-owned London-based al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper Friday cited a senior Saudi military source as saying Saudi forces had detained 1,805 people including rebels and African refugees in the past ten days who had infiltrated the Kingdom from Yemen, adding “the army is conducting all its operations on the Saudi side of the border, without crossing into Yemen.”  Other reports said the rebels Friday shelled Saudi areas near mount Tawik.
