Following recent Houthi missile attacks, Israel is considering revising its recent policy toward Yemen to respond directly to such attacks, an Israeli source told The Jerusalem Post Sunday.
Until now, partly at the request of the United States, Israel has refrained from striking targets in Yemen since the Houthis resumed their attacks.
Defense sources told The Jerusalem Post that there will be a response to the Houthis, but it is too early to say when it will occur.
There was a temporary shift in policy, giving US President Donald Trump the opportunity to address the Houthi problem without Israeli involvement, but now that Ben-Gurion Airport was attacked, this policy is being reconsidered.
After the most recent attack at Ben-Gurion Airport on Sunday morning, Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “Whoever harms us will be struck sevenfold in return.”
