Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated following the strike in Yemen that 'Our pilots have now successfully struck two Houthi terrorist ports again, and this is just the continuation, with more to come. We are not willing to sit aside and let the Houthis harm us. We will strike them much harder, including their leadership and all infrastructure that enables them to attack us.' He added that 'Iran stands behind them, providing support, guidance and approval. The Houthis will pay a very heavy price, and we will defend ourselves through all necessary means to protect Israel's security.'
