Following the Israeli airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen, Defense Minister Israel Katz says “there will be no immunity” for leaders of the Iran-backed group that has been launching missiles and drones at Israel since the beginning of the war.
“Today’s strike by the IDF in Yemen is a clear message to the leader of the Houthi terrorist group, Abd al-Malik al-Houthi, and the leaders of the Houthi terrorist group in Yemen: There will be no immunity for anyone,” Katz says in a video statement.
“We will pursue and hunt you down and destroy the terror infrastructures you have established,” he vows.
The strikes today were launched as a weekly protest was held in Yemen’s capital Sanaa in support of the Gaza Strip.
“Thousands of Houthi [supporters] who participated in a hate march against Israel heard up close the power of the Air Force planes,” Katz says.
“The port of Hodeidah is paralyzed and the port of Ras Isa is on fire and the message is clear: Whoever harms Israel will be struck much much more,” he adds.
