Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Adel Al Jubeir said the Yemeni rebels’ actions prove their “terrorist” intentions.
“The Iranian-planned Houthi attacks, which are strongly denounced by the international community, reveal their terrorism and never affects our stability and development,” he tweeted on Tuesday.
His tweet in Arabic carried the hashtag #Houthi_Iranian_Terrorism and data released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that said the Houthis in Yemen have launched 132 missiles and 66,298 projectiles towards Saudi Arabia.

A Saudi-led coalition — which includes the UAE — intervened in the war in Yemen in March 2015 to fight the rebels at the request of the internationally-recognised government of Yemeni President Abdrabu Hadi.
The Houthi rebels have repeatedly fired missiles at the kingdom, which US and UN experts say are of Iranian origin — a claim that Tehran denies.
On Tuesday, UAE's state news agency, Wam, reported that the Arab coalition had killed 37 Houthis in a series of air strikes that targeted militia positions along the Red Sea Coast.
"In the past 48 hours, coalition forces carried out meticulously planned strikes crippling Houthi military capabilities and leading to heavy losses in their ranks," said the report.
Meanwhile, the Giant Brigade, Yemen's special forces, made significant gains in the city of Al Barah west of Taez and seized control of the main roads that lead to the Kahbub, Al Amri, Azan, Al Mansoura, Sanfa and Al Waziya, Wam reported.
Nearly 10,000 people have been killed in the Yemen conflict, which what the United States has called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Some of Darwish's last words
"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008
His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.
