Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the security establishment for executing the operations in Yemen, stating:
“I want to take this opportunity to commend the Chief of Staff, you—the Commander of the Air Force—our intelligence, our outstanding air and ground crews, our excellent pilots, and everyone supporting them. Congratulations on a perfect execution.”
Air Force Targets Sana’a International Airport
Today (Tuesday), the Israeli Air Force struck the Sana’a International Airport in Yemen. The strikes were carried out following directives from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, in retaliation for missile launches by the Houthis toward Israel.
Among the destroyed targets were terrorist infrastructure at the Sana’a airport and power stations used to support hostile activity.
We Will Settle the Score – Including with Iran
Netanyahu reinforced Israel’s strategic message to the international community: “Our choice of when to respond, how to respond, and to which targets—we assess it each time. And this also applies to the Houthis’ patron, Iran. Without their long-term approval and support, the Houthis could not carry out these vile missile attacks against us.”
He added: “President Trump said it a month and a half ago. I’m saying it again today: We will settle the score with anyone who attacks the State of Israel.”
Defense Minister Katz: “Those Who Harm Us Will Be Harmed Sevenfold”
Defense Minister Israel Katz joined in praising the operation and emphasized: “Anyone who harms us—we will hit them sevenfold.”
He added that the strike also served as a warning to Iran: “This is also a warning message to the Iranian octopus head: You bear direct responsibility for every attack by the Houthi arm of your octopus against the State of Israel—and you will fully bear the consequences.”
