Netanyahu: Israeli airstrikes against Yemen were retaliatory

'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the 'Israeli' Air Force had carried out strikes on strategic targets belonging to the Houthis in the port city of Hodeidah and deeper into Yemen.

Netanyahu explained that these airstrikes were a response to repeated attacks that targeted civilian sites within Israeli Occupation.

He further emphasized that the Houthis are "learning the hard way," adding, "Those who attack us will pay a heavy price." Netanyahu also labeled the Houthis as the "final arm" of what he referred to as the "Iranian axis of evil," following Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Assad regime.
