Yemen's Houthi militia launched a ballistic missile toward Mecca on Thursday, the Saudi-led coalition intervening in Yemen's civil war on behalf of the government said in a statement.
Coalition forces destroyed the missile 65 km (40 miles) from the holy city before it could do any damage, and retaliated against the launch site inside Yemen, said the statement, carried on the state news agency SPA. Mecca is home to the most sacred sites in Islam, including the Grand Mosque.

The Iranians have forbidden thier people from performing the hadj, the pilgrimage to Mecca.
The Iranians are promoting the shrine at Karbala (in Iraq) over Mecca. Note here, the Sunni-Shia split was born at the Battle of Karbala, the Iranians (Shia’s) want to make the site of the Sunni-Shia split the holiest place for Shia Muslims.
Tension will ever escalate between the Saudi’s and Iranians from here.
If you believe the bible then Edom (Saudi Arabia) will become an object of horror, burn like tar and nobody will go there.
Come Lord!
Bkmrk.
Fascinating video you posted that convincingly makes the case that today’s biblically doomed “Mystery Babylon” is Saudi Arabia, Not New York or Vatican Rome.
Most thorough presentation on the topic I’ve yet seen.
Thanks for posting this!

Iran has been banned from Hajj again.
The Iranian Shia are thus excluded from practicing one of the five pillars of Islam.
The first ban was in the early 70’s after Iran sent armed Hajjis to capture Mecca. The gambit was countered and the ban was later removed.
If Mecca goes, Islam delenda est. But conventional warheads are not enough.
And then there's Damascus...
Isaiah 17:1 (KJV) The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
You got it! Don’t agree with them on the timing of the rapture though based on YEARS of study on this topic through precept upon precept of scripture. But not getting off into that here. But I do agree on Mecca and Mystery Babylon.
The U.S. probably destroyed the missile in flight.
This is what Patriot Missile batteries (”Star Wars”) and Aegis systems do, I think. (Please correct me, military guys.)
Who has anti-missile capabilities in the Middle East? Us and Israel, I think.
Wow.
Saudi Arabia began pursuing missile defense capability when Iraq fired Scud ballistic missiles missiles against the coalition military targets stationed in the Kingdom. On January 17, 1991, an Iraqi Scud was intercepted by a US Patriot missile defense system in Saudi Arabia. This event marked the first anti-ballistic missile fired in combat during the Gulf War. [3] By enhancing its security architecture through missile defense, Saudi Arabia seeks to consolidate its place as a regional leader, protect its homeland, and safeguard its regional allies to further cooperation in the Arabian Gulf.[4]
In 1991, Saudi Arabia became the first Middle East customer of the Patriot missile system and maintains the largest missile defense force in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia’s ballistic missile defense capability is designed to defend against its primary adversary: Iran.

Actually they want Mecca replaced by a Holy site located in Eastern Iraq.
they can’t do that!! Which way would the Muslims pray???
Muslims should pray looking straight down into a bottomless pit, since Satan is who they really worship.
RE: “they can’t do that!! Which way would the Muslims pray???”
Too bad it was destroyed in-flight. I would’ve raised a glass in a toast to them (a toast... lol).
