Israel threatens ‘high price’ for Houthi rocket attack

Netanyahu said the attack showed that Israel was in a “multi-front battle against the Iranian axis of evil that seeks to destroy us.”

“[The Houthis] You should know by now that we demand a high price for any attempt to harm us,” he said.

“Whoever attacks us will not escape our arms.

“Hamas is already experiencing this through our decisive action, which will lead to its destruction and the release of all our hostages.”

After the attacks on October 7, the Israeli armed forces launched a campaign to crush Hamas. Around 1,200 people were killed in the attacks and another 251 were taken hostage to Gaza.

According to the Hamas-run Health Ministry, more than 41,206 people have been killed in Gaza since the campaign began.

This is not the first time the Houthis have attacked Israel.

In July, one man was killed and eight people injured when a Houthi drone landed in Tel Aviv.

Previously, almost all Houthi rockets and drones fired at Israel had been intercepted, and none had been proven to have reached Tel Aviv.

In response, Israeli jets attacked the city of Hodeidah in Yemen, causing a massive fire that engulfed one of the country's most important oil storage facilities.
