The source explained how it was agreed that Saudi Arabia would also pay 15,000 Saudi riyals for each fighter. It explained that the agreement was made under the supervision of the commander of the joint forces of the Saudi coalition, Brigadier General Mutlaq Al-Azima.

"The Saudi enemy operation lasted for 6 days, from Friday, February 4th until February 10th," The source said to Al Mayadeen, adding that "the Saudi enemy imposed a military siege on Haradh and closed all its entrances for six days."
