Following the Israeli air force's interception of a drone launched from Yemen that was headed toward Israel on Monday, Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened the Houthis with a "decisive blow."
The drone was intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory, the IDF noted, and no sirens were sounded.
This follows recent attacks launched by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, including firing a ballistic missile that wounded sixteen in Jaffa on Saturday.
In response, Katz said, "We will strike the Houthis hard, destroy their strategic infrastructure, and decapitate their leadership - just as we did to Haniyeh, Sinwar, and Nasrallah in Tehran, Gaza, and Lebanon - we will do the same in Hodeidah and Sana'a."
