Those who want to harm Israel will pay heavy price, warns Netanyahu

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a stern warning to the country’s “enemies” telling them not to doubt Israel’s determination to defend itself on every front.

In a televised address, Netanyahu said, “All those who seek to harm us will pay a very heavy price for their aggression”. Israel’s strikes on the key port to target Houthis in Yemen on Saturday came in “direct



response” to Iran-backed rebels’ drone attack in Tel Aviv on Friday in which an Israeli civilian was killed.

He said that the port targeted was not an “innocent port”. “The port was used as their entry point for weapons that are supplied by Iran to its Houthi terrorist proxies. The Houthis have used those weapons to attack Israel, to attack Arab states in the region, to attack many others,” he added.
