Netanyahu warns Yemen's Houthis of 'heavy price' after strikes

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Yemen's Houthis on Thursday that they "will pay a heavy price" after Israel launched strikes in Yemen in response to a missile attack from the armed group.

"After Hamas, Hezbollah, and the [Bashar al-] Assad regime in Syria, the Houthis are almost the last remaining arm of Iran's axis of evil," Netanyahu said in a statement. "The Houthis are learning and will learn the hard way, that those who strike Israel will pay a very heavy price for it."
