Defense Minister Israel Katz said that "the IDF has just struck terror targets of the Houthi terror regime in Hodeidah port and is forcefully preventing any attempt to rebuild terror infrastructure that was attacked previously." Minister Katz added: "As I have made clear - Yemen will be treated like Tehran. The Houthis will pay heavy prices for firing missiles at the State of Israel. We will continue to act at any time and in any place to defend the State of Israel."
