Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will respond forcefully to any attacks, following a series of airstrikes on Yemen's capital, Sanaa, which resulted in at least six deaths. The strikes targeted a military compound, the presidential palace, power stations, and a fuel depot, and were described by Israeli officials as retaliation for repeated attacks by the Houthi regime against Israel and its civilians.
Netanyahu observed the operation from the Israeli Air Force command centre in Tel Aviv, emphasizing that the region is witnessing Israel's strength and determination. He stated that the Houthi regime is paying a heavy price for its aggression and warned that any future threats would be met with similar force.
In response, Houthi leaders have vowed to continue their fight against Israel and the United States until the blockade on Gaza is lifted and hostilities cease. The situation remains tense as both sides signal their intent to persist in the conflict.
