4. Attack near Makkah by Yemen (2016)

While tensions between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, in 2016, the Houthi militants attacked the city of Makkah near the holy city of Makkah targeting the holy mosques by firing Rockets at it.

Somehow, Saudi Airforce was efficient to fight and stop a massive destruction.

5. Suicide Bombing in Makkah (2017)

In 2017, a suicide bomber blew himself after shooting at security forces. He was hiding in that area for so long. About 6 security personnel got critically injured and 5 were lightly wounded and many injured due to bomb blast as well.

These were the deadly attacks that took place until now in these holy places which are indeed heartbreaking for every Muslim out there as these two places are considered sacred in Islamic religion and can not be compromised. May Allah save all of us.
