The Saudi-led Arab coalition said on Saturday it had carried out 33 operations against the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen's Marib province in the past 24 hours.

The operations left over 190 Houthi terrorists dead and destroyed 21 of their military vehicles.

In al-Bayda province, the coalition carried out 27 operations against the Houthis, killing over 150 terrorists and destroying 16 military vehicles.

The coalition announced it had thwarted "deliberate attempts by the Houthis to attack civilians and civilian locations."

"Any hostile Houthi attempt will incur an immediate response," vowed the coalition.

"We strongly warn against continuing to attempt to attack civilians," it said.

On the ground, the national Yemeni army and the Giants Brigades were on the verge of liberating Marib's Harib and al-Jawiya districts from the Houthis.

The military, Giants Brigades and resistance have completely surrounded the Houthis in southern Marib, reported Al Arabiya.

The legitimate forces have been backed by the Arab coalition jets.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned Israeli forces’ bombing of a journalists’ tent in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.

One journalist was killed and several others were injured in the attack.

The OIC stated that the incident is a clear violation of press freedom and reflects Israel’s ongoing policy of suppressing the media, concealing its actions, and preventing the international community from accessing accurate information.

The organization held Israeli authorities fully responsible for the deaths of more than 210 journalists since the beginning of the military operation in Gaza Strip, which the OIC has described as genocide.

The OIC renewed its call on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to complete its investigations into all alleged crimes committed by Israel against civilians, including journalists who face targeted killings, arbitrary arrests, and physical assaults while performing their professional duties.

The organization also urged international bodies, particularly UNESCO, to take action to ensure accountability, uphold press freedom, and protect the safety of journalists working in the occupied Palestinian territories in accordance with international law.
