In a statement on Sunday afternoon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a forceful response. “There will be blows,” he warned. “We are acting against them. We have acted in the past, and we will act in the future. I cannot detail everything,” he said, noting that the United States is also targeting Houthi forces.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz echoed the warning, saying, “Whoever harms us, we’ll harm them sevenfold.”
The attack marks the latest escalation by the Houthis, who have launched a series of long-range ballistic missiles and drones at Israel in recent months, targeting ports, military installations, and now the country’s main international airport.
