Netanyahu Condemns Terror Attack in Saudi Arabia, Pledges Support

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a strong condemnation Sunday of a "horrific terrorist attack" at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The attack, which occurred at Terminal 4, resulted in 12 fatalities and hundreds of injuries. Netanyahu expressed deep condolences to the families of the victims on behalf of the people of Israel and wished a full recovery to the injured, stating that terrorism aims to sow fear and instability and must be fought with determination.

He concluded by expressing Israel's aspiration for a strong Middle East, united against threats, protecting its residents, and building a future of security, cooperation, and prosperity for all peoples in the region. The Prime Minister's statement comes after the Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen reported that an unidentified missile struck the Riyadh airport terminal. This incident followed a deadly attack at the same location the previous day, which was attributed to an Iran-backed organization.

The coalition spokesman, Colonel Turki al-Maliki, confirmed that the missile hit Terminal 4, causing a fire. He also stated that air defense systems intercepted and destroyed a cruise missile near the airport.
