Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary General Dr. Nayef Al-Hajraf has condemned the terrorist Houthi militia's launching of ballistic missiles to target civilians in Saudi Arabia's Jazan.

Al-Hajraf stressed that ongoing terrorist attacks by the militias reflect their defiance of the international community and their disregard for all international laws and norms.

This requires an immediate and decisive stance from the international community to stop such attacks that target vital and civilian installations.

He praised the vigilance of the Coalition to Fight Legitimacy in Yemen in confronting all terrorist attacks carried out by the insurgents.

The GCC Secretary General also affirmed the Council’s solidarity with the Kingdom in all measures it takes to defend its territories and preserve the safety of its citizens and residents.

The Coalition said on Thursday it destroyed a second ballistic missile launched by the Houthis towards Jazan.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
