Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz vowed that Israel's "long hand" would reach the leaders of the Houthi movement following air strikes targeting Sanaa and Hodeidah.

Katz, on the "X" website, warned the Houthi leaders of bombing after they launched missiles towards the occupied territories, saying: "Whoever raises his hand against the State of Israel, it will be cut off, and whoever harms it will be harmed seven times more."

In turn, Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen confirmed that the Israeli air strikes on ports and infrastructure in Yemen “will not be the last.”

Cohen explained to Israeli Army Radio: “I estimate that this will not be the last time we will work in Yemen.”

The Israeli occupation army said in a statement that it "carried out precise strikes on Houthi military targets, including ports and energy infrastructure in Sanaa."

He added that the targets struck by the Israeli army were used by the Houthi forces for military purposes.

The Israeli army also said earlier on Thursday that it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen.
