Netanyahu: Israel will not stop operations against Houthis in Yemen.

Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the military will continue to act against the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen following the attack on Tel Aviv.

'Just as we acted decisively against the terrorists of the Iranian 'axis of evil', we will act against the Houthis,' said Netanyahu in a video address on Sunday.

He added that the United States along with other countries consider the Houthis a threat not only to international shipping but also to the international order.

'I ask you, citizens of Israel, to show patience, to continue demonstrating the resilience you have shown before, and to strictly follow the guidelines of the home front command. If you do this, we will take care of everything else,' said the head of government.

In conclusion of his speech, Netanyahu reiterated that 'the consequences for the Houthis will be the same as for other terrorist organizations that operate against Israel.'

It was noted that on Thursday, Israeli military aircraft carried out a series of strikes on energy and port infrastructure in Yemen in response to hundreds of rocket and drone attacks made by the Houthis since the start of the Gaza war 14 months ago.
