Defense Minister Israel Katz says the strike on Hodeida Port in Yemen is aimed at continuing “the naval and aerial blockade on the Houthi terror organization.”
“The Houthi terror organization will continue to take blows and will pay painful prices for any attempt to attack the State of Israel,” he adds.
