Al-Azhar Grand Imam Renews Condemnation of Houthi Attacks Targeting Mecca and Medina

Al-Azhar Grand Imam Dr Ahmed al-Tayeb has renewed his strong condemnation of what he described as continuing Houthi attacks targeting Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

His condemnation also covered attacks on areas surrounding the two holy cities, extending beyond Mecca and Medina themselves.

Al-Tayeb further denounced the targeting of civilian facilities in the kingdom, which were included in his renewed criticism of the Houthi attacks.

The statement reiterated the Grand Imam’s opposition to attacks directed at Islam’s two holiest cities and civilian sites in Saudi Arabia.
