Netanyahu Warns Houthis of Same Fate as Hamas, Orders IDF to Target Strategic Infrastructure
Dec 25, 2024, 06:28 PM
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a stern warning to the Houthi movement in Yemen, stating they will face the same fate as Hamas and Hezbollah. During a candle-lighting ceremony for Hanukkah, Netanyahu emphasized that the Houthis will learn the lessons that other adversaries in the region have experienced. He ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to target strategic Houthi infrastructure with precision strikes, asserting that significant terrorist assets have already been destroyed. Netanyahu's comments come amid rising tensions following Houthi drone attacks on Tel Aviv. He indicated that Israel's military actions against the Houthis would be direct and would not be linked to the broader issue of Iran, which he described as a separate matter to be addressed later. Netanyahu's remarks reflect a shift in Israel's military focus, as he opposes the Mossad chief's stance on prioritizing actions against Iran over direct strikes on the Houthis.
