BREAKING: IDF attacking Houthis in Yemen
Following the successful missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport's perimeter, the Israeli Air Force is now striking back. According to reports, Israel is striking the port of Hodeidah.
30 IDF planes are reportedly striking Houthi targets today (Monday) in the port of Houdeidah with US assistance in retaliation for the ballistic missile which struck the perimeter of Ben Gurion Airport.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said following the attack, which evaded Israel's missile defenses due to technical failure, that stopping the Houthis would not be a "zbang" or one and done business, but that there would be "zbangs."
The Houthis have stepped up their efforts to try and pierce Israel's defense shield, sending increasingly more missiles and drones. Most of these are intercepted before they even reach the country, but yesterday, one broke through and hit the perimeter of Ben Gurion Airport.
