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.

Saudi Arabia welcomed on Wednesday the ceasefire in Lebanon, hailing the international efforts that helped achieve it.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry hoped the ceasefire would lead to the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, preserve Lebanon’s sovereignty, security and stability, and ensure the safe return of the displaced to their homes.

The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the ceasefire, commending all efforts that contributed to ending the conflict and expressed its hope for continued security and stability for Lebanon and its people under its national sovereignty.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation stressed the need for all parties to commit to the ceasefire agreement through the full implementation of Resolution 1701.

OIC Secretary General Hissein Brahim Taha underscored his full support for Lebanon’s stability and the right of its state to exercise its sovereignty across all Lebanese territories.

He called for humanitarian aid to meet the needs of those affected and for reconstructing what was destroyed in the war.

Moreover, he hoped that the ceasefire in Lebanon would pave the way for an immediate halt to the Israeli assault on Gaza and all occupied Palestinian territories.
