Defense Minister Israel Katz visited on Tuesday the Arrow missile defense battery responsible for intercepting a missile launched from Yemen overnight. Katz reiterated Israel’s commitment to countering Houthi aggression, saying, “We will not tolerate continued missile fire on Israel by the Houthis.”
Katz drew parallels to past operations targeting high-profile adversaries, saying, “As we dealt with Sinwar in Gaza, Haniyeh in Tehran and Nasrallah in Beirut, we will deal with Houthi leaders in Sanaa and throughout Yemen.”
He vowed to dismantle both Houthi leadership and their infrastructure, declaring, “We will act to eliminate the threat and neutralize any danger to Israel to achieve our objectives. Those who sponsor Houthi terror in Hodeidah or Sanaa will pay the full price.”
