(MENAFN- Arab News) As 'Operation Decisive Storm' continues life remains normal for Jazan residents near the Saudi-Yemeni border.
Residents expressed support for the efforts to preserve the security and stability of the Kingdom especially border sites recalling the achievements of Saudi forces a few years ago when a number of Houthi rebels infiltrated their villages.

He said security forces are always prepared to challenge any infiltrators and maintain a firm red line against such attempts.
At fajr prayers yesterday a number of mosques in Jizan led supplications to protect the Kingdom's security and stability. 'We must reduce the number of groups trying to harm the Kingdom and their evil intentions to create rifts between Muslims' said one imam.
