Commenting on the violent Israeli raids that targeted several locations in Yemen, especially in Sanaa and Hodeidah, the Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, sent a message of warning and warning to the Houthi group.

He said in statements, today, Thursday, that everyone “whoever raises his hand against Israel, we will cut it off,” adding, “The Houthis must know that our long hand will reach them.”

He also added that “any party that harms Israel will be responded to sevenfold,” as he put it.
In turn, the Israeli army spokesman, Daniel Hagari, warned in a video message this morning the Houthis, considering that they have become “a source of global threat.” ".

He added, "His country will continue to move against anyone in the Middle East who threatens it."

He also pointed out that "the Houthis are also targeting other countries in the Middle East, as well as the United States and other countries around the world."

He recalled that their attacks on international cargo ships in the Red Sea and elsewhere constitute a global threat.

"As we did with Hezbollah"

In addition, he asked, “Who is behind the Houthis?”, to which he immediately answered, “Iran.” He stressed that "the Iranian regime finances, arms, and directs the activities of the Houthis," he said.

He concluded by stressing that the Israeli forces “will continue to act against any party in the Middle East that threatens the State of Israel, as they have done against others in other arenas,” referring to Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

This came after Israeli fighters launched dozens of raids at dawn on several Houthi sites in Sanaa and the coastal city of Hodeidah, especially the Ras Issa oil port, which Israel bombed late last September. The raids targeted the two Haziz power stations south of the capital and Dhahban north of it, as well as the port of Hodeidah and the Ras Issa facility.

Since the outbreak of the war in Gaza on October 7 last year, the Houthis have launched dozens of missile attacks and marches towards Israel, and also targeted dozens of cargo ships in the Red Sea, “in support of Gaza.”

However, some observers saw that after eliminating significant capabilities of Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as Hamas, Israel had become more prepared and determined to strike the Houthis.

It has already declared explicitly more than once that it has “eliminated all of Iran’s arms in the region and only the Houthis remain.”
