The Saudi Ministry of Defense issued an official denial this morning (Sunday) regarding any Saudi involvement in Operation Long Arm, the IDF's strike against Houthi-held Yemen in retaliation for the drone strike on Tel Aviv last Friday.
In a post published on X, Saudi Defense Ministry spokesperson Brigadier General Turki Al-Maliki said that "The Kingdom has no relationship or participation in targeting Hodeidah, and the Kingdom will not allow its airspace to be infiltrated by any party."
Previously, IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that neither the US nor the UK were involved in the strike, though the US was reportedly informed beforehand.
