“The real danger on our Islamic sanctities lies in the Wahhabi ideology which is adopted and spread by the Saudi regime as provided by the US’ orders,” Houthi wrote on his Facebook account, warning that such actions endanger the Saudi regime itself.

The Yemeni official called on the Saudi regime to review its policy, stressing that Riyadh bears responsibility of the destruction taking place in the region.

Saudi Arabia backed by the US and some despotic regional regimes launched its deadly campaign against Yemen in March 2015 to push back Ansarullah fighters from Sana’a and to bring back to power Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, Yemen's president who has resigned and is a staunch ally of Riyadh.

The brutal aggression has so far claimed the lives of nearly 13,000 Yemenis mostly civilians including women and children.

The Saudi military aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, markets schools, mosques and factories.
