Israel will continue striking the Houthis in Yemen until the job is done, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“A short time ago, the Air Force attacked targets of the Houthi terrorist organization in Yemen, both on the coastline and in Sana’a,” he says in a video statement from the IAF “pit” command center in the IDF Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv. “We are determined to cut off this terror arm of the Iranian axis of evil. We will persist in this until we complete the job.”
Netanyahu was at the base with Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, and IAF Commander Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar to oversee Israeli strikes on the Houthis, his office says in a statement.
According to the IDF, the attacks targeted “infrastructure used by the Houthi terror regime for its military activities” at Sana’a International Airport in the capital; the Hezyaz and Ras Kanatib power plants; and infrastructure at the Hodeida, Salif, and Ras Kanatib ports on the coast.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
