Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "The Houthis are learning and will learn the hard way, that whoever attacks Israel pays a very heavy price for it."*
"As of this morning, the Air Force attacked strategic Houthi targets in the port of Hodeidah and deep inside Yemen.
We did this in response to the Houthis' repeated attacks on civilian targets in Israel. Last night, they attacked a school in Ramat Gan.
They are not just attacking us - they are attacking the entire world. They are attacking international shipping and trade routes. Thus, when Israel acts against the Houthis, it is acting for the entire international community. The Americans understand this well, and so do many others.
After Hamas, Hezbollah and the Assad regime in Syria, the Houthis are almost the last remaining arm of Iran's evil axis.
They are learning, and they will learn the hard way, that whoever harms Israel pays a very heavy price for it."
