Following tonight’s missile launch from Yemen — which was successfully intercepted by the Israeli Air Force — Defense Minister Israel Katz issues a stark warning to the Iran-backed Houthis.
“Yemen will be treated like Tehran. After striking the head of the snake in Tehran, we will also strike the Houthis in Yemen,” Katz says, adding, “whoever raises a hand against Israel — that hand will be cut off.”
