Katz: What Israel did to Hezbollah, it will do to regime in Tehran
What Israel did to Hezbollah in Beirut, it will do to the Iranian regime in Tehran, Defense Minister Israel Katz warned on Thursday morning.
“The Houthis will suffer heavy blows from Israel if they continue to fire at us,” Katz added.
He warned the “Iranian leadership that funds, arms, and operates the Houthi terrorist organization: the era of proxies is over, and the axis of evil has collapsed.
“You bear direct responsibility. What we did to Hezbollah in Beirut, to Hamas in Gaza, to Assad in Damascus, and to the Houthis in Yemen—we will do to you in Tehran.”
US bombing of Houthi targets in Yemen
US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the US would stop bombing the Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen, saying that the group had agreed to stop attacking US ships.
A ceasefire deal between Yemen’s Houthis and the US does not include sparing Israel, the Houthis said on Wednesday, later saying they targeted Israel with drones.
