Houthi attacks on Makkah reveal anti-holy sites agenda, Yemeni analyst says

Yemeni political analyst Fares Al-Beel has stated that Houthi attacks on Makkah clearly expose their hostile agenda against Islamic holy sites. In an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Dr. Al-Beel emphasized that the Houthis' targeted actions towards Makkah manifest the true nature of their opposition to Islamic sanctities, particularly those in Saudi Arabia.

Despite their self-identified adherence to Islam, the group's ideology is fundamentally at odds with Islamic rituals and practices, according to the analyst. He continued, explaining that the Houthi militia conducts such provocations because they are a dangerous group lacking both political vision and methodology. The actions of the Houthis openly display their hostility toward Muslims, their holy sites, and the land of the Two Holy Mosques.

Moreover, Al-Beel pointed out that Iran benefits from these attempts by demonstrating the group's capacity to reach these areas. The analyst noted that all Houthi efforts thus far have ended in complete failure, highlighting that there is no greater crime than launching missiles at innocent Yemeni civilians and inside Saudi Arabia.
