Clashes at the Kingdom's southern borders have not prevented residents from carrying on their lives including doing their shopping for Eid. People in Samtah and Ahad Al-Masareha have started going to the markets, as a growing sign of confidence that the Saudi forces are winning the battle against the infiltrators. Ali Al-Madkhali, who was shopping at the Samtah Market, said he was glad to see “the Falcons (Saudi air fighters) flying to strike infiltrators” and was confident the armed forces would prevent citizens from being harmed. That is “why we're shopping so calmly”, he said.
