After the Iran-backed Houthis fired a ballistic missile at Israel for the third time in less than 24 hours, Defense Minister Israel Katz warns that there will be a response of Biblical proportions.
“The Houthis are firing missiles at Israel again,” Katz writes on X. “A plague of darkness, a plague of [death of] the firstborn – we will complete all ten plagues.”
Two of the missiles were intercepted and the third landed outside of Israel, the IDF said. There were no injuries.
One of the missiles fired yesterday from Yemen had a cluster bomb warhead, the military said.
