Israel Signals Potential Airstrikes on Yemen's Houthis


(MENAFN) Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stark warning on Tuesday night, signaling potential airstrikes against the Houthi group in Yemen, mirroring a recent assault on Iran.

“Yemen will be treated like Tehran. After striking the head of the snake in Tehran, we will also strike the Houthis in Yemen,” Katz stated on X.

He added with further severity, “Whoever raises a hand against Israel – that hand will be cut off.”

The threat followed the Israeli military's announcement that its Air Force had successfully intercepted a missile launched from Yemen.

As of now, there has been no response from the Houthi group regarding the Israeli warning.
