The Saudi-led Arab coalition said on Wednesday that Saudi defenses shot down a ballistic missile that was fired by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen towards the Kingdom.

The projectile was aimed at the Jazan region.

Three days ago, the defenses downed two armed drones launched by the Houthis towards the southern region of the Kingdom.

The coalition said it was taking the necessary operational measures to protect civilians from hostile attacks.

The terrorist Houthis have persisted in carrying out ballistic missile and armed drone attacks against Saudi Arabia in defiance of Arab and international calls for a ceasefire in Yemen.

OIC Condemns Statements by Israeli Officials on Imposing Sovereignty Over West Bank

OIC Condemns Statements by Israeli Officials on Imposing Sovereignty Over West Bank

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the statements by officials in the Israeli occupation government calling for annexing and imposing the alleged Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

 

It is considered a flagrant violation of the resolutions of international legitimacy and international law, and an attempt to undermine international efforts geared toward a two-state solution, SPA reported.

The OIC warned of the dangerousness of such statements and continued incitement pursued by the Israeli occupation's leaders and extremist settlers against the Palestinian people as well as their land and sanctities.

It reiterated its call for the international community to recognize the State of Palestine, endorse its full membership at the United Nations, and take the required measures to end occupation and illegal settlement of the occupied Palestinian territories pursuant to the relevant UN resolutions and the advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice.
