The Saudi-led Arab coalition said on Monday it destroyed two sites in Yemen’s Saada and Amran provinces that were used by the Iran-backed Houthi militias to launch ballistic missiles against the Kingdom.

“We thwarted imminent hostile attacks against civilians in Saudi Arabia,” added the coalition.

On Sunday, the coalition announced that 218 terrorist Houthis were killed and 24 of their military vehicles destroyed in battles in the Joubah and Kassara fronts.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned on Thursday Israel's ongoing violations, including the Israeli Minister of National Security's storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, and the incursion of Israeli forces into southern Syria.

“The Kingdom affirms that these systematic practices in Al-Aqsa Mosque constitute a blatant violation and provocation of the feelings of Muslims around the world and that the continuation of military operations in Syria is an attempt to sabotage Syria's chances of restoring its security and stability,” the ministry said in a statement.

The Makkah-based Muslim World League (MWL) also strongly condemned Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

MWL Secretary-General Sheikh Dr. Mohammad Al-Issa denounced the act as a provocative violation of Islamic holy sites and warned against further escalation by Israeli forces, which could inflame Muslim sentiment globally. He emphasized that such actions are a breach of international law and humanitarian norms.
