Muslim World League condemns Houthi attacks on Saudi holy sites and civilians

The Muslim World League has vehemently condemned the Houthi militia for their repeated attacks on Islamic holy sites in Saudi Arabia and civilian regions. The League has strongly criticized the Houthi militia's use of ballistic missiles and drones to target the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, as well as civilian areas in the Kingdom. Saudi air defenses have managed to intercept all such attacks, ensuring the safety of the region's holy sites and its citizens.

Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, the Secretary-General of the Muslim World League and President of the Association of Muslim Scholars, reiterated the League's condemnation of the Houthi militia's terrorist tactics. Al-Issa denounced the militia's deliberate attacks on holy sites and innocent civilians, emphasizing that these actions provoke the feelings of over two billion Muslims worldwide and violate Islamic values and humanitarian principles.

He stated that the group, which refers to itself as Ansar Allah, is clearly engaged in terrorist activities rather than upholding religious beliefs or serving the interests of Islam.

On behalf of the League's assemblies, councils, and the Muslim communities it represents, Al-Issa expressed the League's full solidarity with Saudi Arabia. He called upon the Kingdom to continue taking necessary measures to deter aggressors and safeguard the sanctity of holy sites and the safety of its people. Al-Issa prayed for the continued protection and security of the Saudi land, leadership, and citizens against the ongoing threats posed by the Houthi militia.
