The Muslim World League (MWL) strongly condemned the continued Israeli violations in the Gaza Strip, including the ongoing targeting of civilians, vital facilities, and civilian infrastructure, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Thursday.

In a statement, MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa denounced the Israeli violations in Gaza and throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, describing them as unacceptable and condemnable acts that violate religious values, international law, and humanitarian norms while undermining all peace efforts.

He also expressed strong support for the statement issued on the matter by the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, and Türkiye, aimed at confronting these violations and protecting the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights.

Al-Issa stressed the urgent need for the international community to fulfill its moral and legal responsibilities by taking immediate action to bring an end to all Israeli violations in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Official Spokesperson for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen Major General Turki Al-Malki stated on Saturday that two ballistic missiles launched by the terrorist Houthi militia toward the Saudi cities of Taif and Yanbu were intercepted and destroyed.

It came shortly after Riyadh's civil defense agency broadcast warnings of "potential danger" for four western regions, including Taif and Yanbu as well Makkah and Yanbu.

The alerts were all rescinded minutes later.

Residents were instructed by the agency to "proceed to the nearest safe place."

The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen announced that it intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthi militia toward Riyadh and Khamis Mushait, along with two drones heading toward Saudi Arabia's southern region, on Friday.

The coalition also categorically denied claims circulated by the Houthi militia that Saudi Arabia had threatened to target tribal and civilian gatherings, describing them as "false allegations with no basis in fact."

In a statement Thursday, official spokesperson of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen Major General Turki Al-Malki said the allegations, both in their substance and timing, reflected continued attempts to mislead public opinion, divert attention from the militia's crises and practices, and drag Yemen's tribes into its conflicts.

The statement reaffirmed Saudi Arabia's unwavering commitment to Yemen's security and stability and its determination to preserve the historical and brotherly ties between the two peoples.

It emphasized that this commitment seeks to strengthen security and stability, safeguard the interests of both nations, and prevent Yemeni tribes from being exploited or drawn into conflicts that do not serve the Yemeni people's aspirations for security, peace and development.
