Yemeni Jews have started to leave Yemen fearing that the clashes in the country are becoming non-stop and could soon affect them.

Sources within the Jewish community in the northern Amran province confirmed that seven Yemeni Jews have already left the country two days ago, while eight more will follow before the end of the week. 

Jews in Yemen complain that clashes are growing and they fear they could be a target in a lawless state.

In 2009, and after an attack against a Jewish Yemeni citizen, President Saleh ordered that Jews in Yemen be given extra security and some were offered free accomadation in the capital Sana’a. Though the government has been very cautious in dealing with the Jewish minority in Yemen, Tens of Jews left the country over the last two years.
