Meanwhile, Lebanese Al Mayadeen TV put the number of people killed at 213.
A missile tore through the hall of the building, leaving many dead and injured, Reuters reported earlier, quoting eyewitnesses.
According to the news agency, a medic said that he saw “mutilated and charred bodies,” adding that the funeral was being held for the deceased father of the Houthi rebels’ Interior Minister. Military and security officials from the rebel movement are among the victims, according to the outlet.
AP earlier reported that at least 45 people had been killed in the bombardment.
“The place has been turned into a lake of blood,'' a rescuer, Murad Tawfiq, was quoted by the news agency as saying.

If it’s the Houthi rebels, isn’t this a good thing?
Most civilized humans recognize a funeral as a sacred moment to say goodbye to a loved one.
But, I said “civilized humans” and these animals qualify as neither.
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were:
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
John Donne

Watch and see.
Civilization peaked in that region shortly before a certain self-proclaimed prophet came on the scene. Its been all down hill since.
Yes. They are Iran’s proxies in Yemen. Also.
They are helping the all Qaeda groups fight the ousted, progesterone govt.
If they are any kind of Muslims, I see no downside.
There’s also the matter of Russia all put throwing up a no-fly zone over Syria, and the WH wants to open up a can of whoop-ass on a duly elected government of a sovereign nation to help the most ruthless terrorists on earth - who happened to be back by the same folks who just smoked a funeral, and who is also financing the same bitch who’d wants to be POTUS...
... but did you hear about what Trump said in a private conversation 10 years ago?
( I knew I left that sarcasm tag somewhere - anyone seen it?)
We need to get every American soldier/sailor/marine/airman out of the middle east. The, close down our embassies after we get those people out with the Marine guards.
Then, let these savages kill each other until their are none left alive.
Where/if possible get the Christians out of there to safety.
The missile was made where? We SHOULD get out but keep the weapons going in. The more the kill each other the less they kill us.
When I first read this I really thought it said “Hoth rebels”.
These acts of extreme violence broke the will of our enemy to resist. It is called war. It is brutish, ugly and violent and little glory except as depicted in the movies.
When one lets the enemy set the rules of engagement, you have just lost the war. War should be avoided unless our national interests and security is in danger. If one must go to war, it should be brutal and devastating to the enemy.
If one must fight, "Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war." If you can not do this, you will lose.
They will get theirs. Never side with sunnis.
“If it’s the Houthi rebels, isn’t this a good thing?”
Saudis lived. That’s a bad thing.
Sunni or later Shiites gonna happen
“This will escalate into something that NO ONE ever expected.
Watch and see”
Was thinking the same thing.
Dollar cost averaging.
even worse...it was a gay wedding...
I see a fortune in bumper sticker sales for you...
