DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Israeli strikes on Yemen’s Houthi-held port city of al-Hudaydah will be met with “escalation,” an official of the Iran-backed rebel movement says, warning Israel will “pay the price.”

“The Zionist entity will pay the price for targeting civilian facilities, and we will meet escalation with escalation,” Houthi politburo member Mohammed al-Bukhaiti says in a post on social media.
