Renewed fighting shattered a six-month cease-fire between northern Shiite rebels and the Yemeni military. Thirty are reported dead. After celebrating Eid al Ghadeer, Al Jaon village was shelled by the military. The Shiite holiday was banned in 2004 at outbreak of the war. Civilian casualties included a four year old. An aid to General Ali Mohsen al Ahmar labeled the rebels “disbelievers” in a mosque sermon.
