Defense Minister Israel Katz addressed the Israeli strike in Yemen, announcing that "Israeli Air Force planes attacked Houthi terrorist targets at Sanaa Airport." According to him, the strike destroyed "the last aircraft remaining in Houthi use as part of Operation Golden Ornament." Katz added: "This is a clear message and direct continuation of our established policy: whoever fires at the State of Israel will pay heavy prices. The ports in Yemen will continue to be hit hard, and Sanaa Airport will be destroyed again and again."
