Netanyahu: Israel to exact heavy price after Houthi attack

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Yemen's Houthis should have known that Israel would exact a heavy price following their attack on Israeli soil.

Yemen's Houthis fired a surface-to-surface missile that reached central Israel for the first time, striking an unpopulated area and causing no injuries.

During his weekly cabinet meeting, Netanyahu also said that the current situation in northern Israel "will not continue" and that he was determined to do everything possible to ensure the return of Israelis who have evacuated the north to their homes.
