Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the Israeli Air Force has conducted strikes against strategic Houthi targets in Yemen's port city of Hodeidah. This operation is a response to repeated Houthi attacks on civilian targets in Israel. Netanyahu emphasized that the Houthis, whom he described as nearly the last remaining arm of Iran's 'axis of evil' after Hamas and Hezbollah, will 'learn the hard way' that any aggression against Israel incurs a heavy price. He stated, 'Whoever harms Israel pays a very heavy price for it,' underscoring the severity of the Israeli response to the Houthis' actions.
