King Salman issues directive to host 2,000 family members of Yemeni forces and those killed in action during Operation Decisive Storm for Hajj, Saudi state TV al-Ekhbariya reported on Sunday.
Operation Decisive Storm was launched in 2015 at the request of Yemen’s legitimate government. It aimed at resuming the political process in Yemen, delivering aid and fighting terrorism in the country.
The Saudi ruler had issued a previous directive that stated that Saudi Arabia will host 1,300 pilgrims from over 90 countries this year for Hajj under the “Guests of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Program.”
