Israeli jets attacked the airport in Sa’ana, Yemen today. Defense Minister Katz said, “Air Force planes have now attacked terrorist targets of the Houthi terrorist organization at the airport in Sanaa and destroyed the last remaining plane used by the Houthis. This is a clear message and a direct continuation of the policy we have established: whoever fires at the State of Israel will pay heavy prices. The ports in Yemen will continue to be severely damaged, and the airport in Sanaa will be destroyed again and again, as will other strategic infrastructure used by the Houthi terrorist organization and its supporters. The Houthi terrorist organization will be under naval and air blockade – as we pledged and warned. Whoever harms us will be harmed sevenfold.” The attack comes in response to continued Houthi missile attacks against Israel.
