Egypt Condemns Houthis Attacks against Saudi

The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement today, Thursday, to condemn, in the strongest terms, the Houthis' continued terrorist attacks that target the territories of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia( KSA).

Egypt reaffirms its complete stand by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the measures it is taking to address everything that threatens the security, stability of the Kingdom and the safety of its brotherly people.

Egypt also denounces the recurrence of these despicable attacks by the Houthi militia, which the joint forces of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen have effectively responded to through interception and destroy drones launched by the Yemeni rebels.

The Houthi militia is still implementing attacks by drone, missile, and explosive-laden boat attacks on Saudi Arabia.

The Yemeni rebels seek to pressure the Kingdom into stopping airstrikes that have killed dozens of their senior commanders in Yemen.

The Arab coalition announced, weeks ago, intercepting explosive-laden drones and boats and ballistic missiles fired by the rebels at Saudi civilian and military targets in the Kingdom and Yemen.

Airstrikes by coalition warplanes have targeted senior Houthi commanders mainly in the central provinces of Marib and Al-Bayda, and in the northern province of Jawf.

The Houthis also want to force the Kingdom to stop its massive military logistics with the Yemeni army, the experts said.

“The coalition (warplanes) targeted their fortifications, military equipment, trenches, gatherings, command rooms as well as military reinforcements,” Brig. Gen. Abdu Abdullah Majili, a Yemeni army spokesman said.

He said that the Houthis had suffered heavy losses over the last September as a result of counterattacks by government forces and allied tribesmen under heavy air cover from coalition warplanes.

Houthi official media broadcast images of long convoys carrying bodies of rebel fighters.

Local military officers told news agencies that many of those Houthis were killed in smart airstrikes by Saudi-led coalition warplanes in Jawf and Marib provinces.
