‘Just as we acted with force against Iran’s allies, we will act against the Houthis,’ Netanyahu said.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would “act with force” against the Houthi group in Yemen, a day after the group launched a missile toward the Tel Aviv area.

“Just as we acted with force against Iran’s allies, we will act against the Houthis,” he said, emphasizing that Israel was not acting alone, noting that the U.S. and other nations share the same view with Israel that the Houthis are posing “a threat not only to international shipping but to the global order.”
“Hence, we will act with strength, determination, and ingenuity. Even if it takes time, the outcome will be the same as with other terrorist groups,” Netanyahu added
A Houthi missile hit a playground and a building in Tel Aviv overnight between Friday and Saturday, injuring 14 people and causing building damage, according to the Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service.
The Houthi attack followed a series of Israeli airstrikes on Thursday, which targeted Yemen’s capital Sanaa as well as the ports of Hodeidah, As-Salif, and Ras Issa. The strikes, which the Israeli military said were aimed at Houthi infrastructure, killed at least nine people.
