Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the Israeli Air Force conducted strikes against strategic Houthi targets in the port city of Hodeidah and deeper into Yemen. This military action was a response to repeated Houthi missile attacks on civilian sites in Israel, including a recent attack on a school in Ramat Gan. Netanyahu emphasized that the Houthis will learn 'the hard way' that any attack on Israel incurs a heavy price. He characterized the Houthis as part of Iran's 'axis of evil,' following Hamas and Hezbollah, and reiterated that anyone who harms Israel will face severe consequences.
