Netanyahu Says Israel Will Respond to Houthis’ Iranian ‘Masters’ after Attack

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel will respond to the Houthis and their Iranian “masters”, after the Tehran-backed group launched a missile attack against his country’s main international airport.
A missile fired by the Yemeni Houthis landed near Ben Gurion Airport, sending a plume of smoke into the air and causing panic among passengers in the terminal building.
“Attacks by the Houthis emanate from Iran,” Netanyahu wrote on X. “Israel will respond to the Houthi attack against our main airport AND, at a time and place of our choosing, to their Iranian terror masters.”

Earlier, Netanyahu said the US was supporting Israeli operations against the Houthis. “It’s not bang, bang and we’re done, but there will be bangs,” he said in a video posted on social media.
