Arab Interior Ministers Council condemns Houthi attacks on Mecca and Madinah

The General Secretariat of the Arab Interior Ministers Council has strongly condemned the terrorist attacks carried out by the Houthi militia against civilians, civilian infrastructure, and holy sites in Saudi Arabia.

In a statement from its headquarters in Tunis, the Secretariat noted that the Houthi militia recently attempted to target the areas of Mecca and Madinah with ballistic missiles, which were intercepted and destroyed by Saudi air defenses.

The statement stressed that these attacks constitute a blatant violation of international law, a desecration of holy sites, and a provocation to Muslims, falling within the militia's ongoing efforts to destabilize security and stability in the region.

The Secretariat reaffirmed its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and support for the measures it takes to protect its territory, holy sites, and to maintain the security, stability, and safety of its citizens and residents.
