#zerohour: Yemenis in sarcastic tweets on 'end of Houthis'

A group of Yemenis posted a sarcastic drawing under a new hashtag showing that the end of the Iranian-backed Houthi coup militias is close as Arab coalition forces and their national Yemeni allies stepped up their attacks on the insurgents.

The picture includes a clock and two green swords symbolising the Saudi national flag as they are about to cut off the head of a screaming man symbolising the Houthis.

#zerohour is the Arabic language hashtag published in Saudi newspapers and social networks in the Gulf Kingdom and Yemen.

Saudi Arabia is leading an Arab coalition launching a military campaign to end the coup by the Houthis and forces loyal to deposed Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh and restore the legitimate regime in the country.

Besides Saudi Arabia, the coalition comprises the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Sudan, Egypt, Jordan and Morocco.
