Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that Israel would continue to act against the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, whom he accused of threatening global transportation and international order, and called on Israelis to be steadfast, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
"Just as we acted decisively against the terrorist elements of Iran's axis of evil, so we will act against the Houthis," he said in a video address a day after a missile fired from Yemen fell in the Tel Aviv area, causing minor injuries to several people.
On Thursday, Israeli jets carried out a series of strikes on energy and port infrastructure in Yemen in response to hundreds of missiles and drones fired from Yemen since the start of the Gaza war 14 months ago.
Yesterday, the US military said it had carried out precision airstrikes against a Houthi missile depot and command and control facility in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
Netanyahu also noted that Israel would act together with the US.
"That is why we will act with force, determination and precision. I tell you, even if it takes time, the result will be the same," he said.
