The Houthis in Yemen will continue to pay a price for attacking Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says after Israeli warplanes strike ports and other targets controlled by the rebel group.

“As we promised,” he says in a statement, “the Houthis are paying, and will continue to pay, a heavy price for their aggression against us.”

He says that Israel attacks targets along the coast and deep inside Yemen.

“The Houthis are an extension of Iran and they serve the terrorist goals of the Iranian axis in the Middle East,” he continues. “They pose a danger to Israel and the entire region, including harming global freedom of navigation.”

According to the IDF, Israel hit the Hizaz power station, and the Al Hudaydah and Ras Isa ports.

“We will act with determination and force against any entity that threatens Israel – wherever and whenever necessary,” Netanyahu concludes.
