Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the order for Israel’s massive strike on the Houthis in Sanaa from his flight to New York, says the Prime Minister’s Office.
While on Wing of Zion, Netanyahu also received updates from Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, according to the PMO.
The IAF strikes came in response to repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks on Israel, including a UAV that struck Eilat yesterday, wounding over 20 people, two of them seriously.
