Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirms that the Israeli Air Force carried out fresh strikes on Houthi-controlled Sanaa International Airport in Yemen.

“We operate by a simple principle: Whoever harms us — we will harm them,” Netanyahu says in a statement, warning that force will be met with even greater force.

Netanyahu adds that the Houthis are “just a symptom.”

“The main power behind them is Iran, which is responsible for the aggression emanating from Yemen,” he concludes.
