IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says the airstrikes in Yemen earlier today prove the military’s ability to strike “any threat.”

“Once again, the IDF has proven its capability to reach and strike any threat to the citizens of Israel. Over the years, we have developed capabilities to strike very far from Israel’s territory, in a precise, powerful and repeated manner,” Halevi says from the IAF’s underground command center during the strikes, according to remarks provided by the military.
