Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatens the Houthis (Ansar Allah) after a missile launched from Yemen hit central Israel on September 15.
“The Houthis should have known by now that we exact a heavy price for any attempt to harm us,” he said at the beginning of the weekly cabinet meeting. “Those who need a reminder are welcome to visit the port of al-Hodeida.”
Israel launched an attack on the Yemen Red Sea port, which is controlled by the Houthis, on July 20, just a day after a suicide drone launched by the group struck the city of Tel Aviv in central Israel, killing a man and wounding several other people.
The Houthis claimed responsibility for the new missile attack, saying that they launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at a military target near Tel Aviv in response to the Israeli war and siege on the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip.
“Anyone who attacks us will not escape our reach,” Netanyahu threatened. “Hamas is already learning this” he adds, vowing that the Gazan group will be destroyed and will free the hostages it holds.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that it made several attempts to intercept the Houthi missile, though the results of these attempts are still being investigated. The missile broke apart in the air, according to an initial probe by the military.
The IDF attempted to shoot down the missile using both the Arrow long-range missile defense system and the Iron Dome system, which is usually used for shorter-range rocket attacks.
“From a preliminary examination, it appears that the missile apparently disintegrated in the air,” the IDF said.
The missile was launched from Yemen at around 6:21 a.m., and sirens sounded across central Israel at 6:32 a.m. According to the Houthis, the missile reached Israel in 11 minutes and 30 seconds. Shrapnel from the missile and the interceptors impacted open areas in the Ben Shemen forest, close to the settlement of Kfar Daniel as well as at a train station near the settlement of Modiin and an industrial facility close to the settlement of Ramla. No serious injuries were reported.
The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have been waging a military campaign against Israel since the outbreak of the war on Gaza last October, targeting merchant vessels linked to the country and launching direct strikes against its territory using drones and missiles.
Netanyahu’s threat will not likely faze the Houthis, who endured hundreds of strikes by the United States and the United Kingdom over the last ten months in addition to the Israeli attack on the port of al-Hodeida.

bibi the war criminal chickenchit satanyahu can’t even defeat a few hundred hamas barefoot insurgents right next door in the tiny gaza strip. what makes him think he can stop houthies from striking israel again, again & again.
hes lost it lol
its the typical likud mind….demented in so many ways
they don’t understand what a warning shot is. they see it as weakness. it wont end well for them…
look its obviously being staged for maximum profit and propagandas.
you’re so nazi, you transparent little crew of two with your dozen different names a day.
bunker vermin squeals
what does he mean? the twin towers are not in yemen🤡
you are do clueless or corrupted or both. no one could be so ridiculous as you little crew that try to hijack this site did your iwn political subterfuge fir wefs supremacy. and i d bet i agree with more of wefs pixies than you. you’re so superficial you wouldn’t even know what you’re promoting imo shallow as a birds bath
lying zionists…on one hand they said the missile was no big deal and exploded in mid air before reaching its target. on the other hand, they are mad and angry about it. conclusion: houthis were successful
go to jpost. they’re reporting that the hypersonic missile wasnt even detected and no sirens were heard.
never trust anyone. if you don’t see it yourself or have someone you know doesn’t tell lies then you are unwise to believe any else.
deduction obviously nato wants houthis to seem to be successful.
said from a poor sod of a guy, a lad who puts strawberry jam on his butt hole and then has his dog lick it!!!
go houthis!👍
cmon houthis, sink a carrier. that would be awesome
you should be care ful what you wish for as the queen said to the couple who then disappeared.
k-e-r-boom!!!
who do you think you’re kidding?
those who need a reminder visit the twin towers or uss liberty.
hahahaha who are you now, magic mike revealing all?
fake ass zio loving site censoring comments. the nutty yoyo will not live much longer, bet on it!!
fake as alright bozo
the disunited states of a will probably provide the fuel for the jews’ airfleet to and back from yemen. doubt saudi will grant the jews the right to cross saudi territory. by the time the jews arrive, the houthis should be able to bring about a few anti-aircraft missiles, taking dow one or two f35s, allowing russia and iran to study these miracle macines – whoahohoho!
omg is it even possible anyone who graduated from primary school could be so gullible?
hahaha thanks for the um revelation such fun
so it’s a catholic site absolutely and that’s why it posts content that only a site given permission to break all the normal internet rules, like a democrat or the biden family can, and get away with it because the pope allows because they’re serving the one true church.
his holiness is too busy promoting gays and trannies to worry about anything else. no spare time for conspiracies and subterfuge, or providing smokescreens to divert attention from zio skulduggery.
no need to shoot them down. those flying turkey f35s crash of their own accord.
putin & netanyahu are always threatening but only play tit-for-tat clown war…!!!
if you think the arab world likes infidel heathen christians then you really are a clown
talmudistan zios hate them even more. look at how many ancient christian churches they’ve bombed.
usa did not wanted netanyahu in israel, but they didn’t have another candidate and the things are so bad in the advanced outpost of the western civilization in the middle east named israel they could not do anything to avoid this conflict. israel will do whatever they wanted in palestine in the short and middle run, but in a hundred years nobody will remember israel, and the father and creator of the “head of the snake” religion institution will disappear from earth.
clueless nazi propagandas for dummies 101
hahaha my granddad was a, high ranking officer in the nazi army and my dad was raised in the nazi children’s party cause they were so confident they would win hahahaha never trust anyone. hahahaha
looks like 2 million shlomos were scurrying to the bunkers like roaches. they’ll soon be bugging out of ben gurion before that gets smoked as well.
they were silly, yes agreed, to ever trust those who said come here, come come out come out wherever you are trust us, yes they were
sounds to me like bibi prolly soiled his panties when that hypersonic houthi missile went screaming overhead…lol
more of the same pls, now, tomorrow and every week until the jews are forced off the landvthey have stolen, copying hitler’s game book: genocide; lebensraum or land grabbing and concentration camp gaza! what to,like – not much so the quicker they can have netayahu assassinated the better!
grow up. theros only one nation in our lifetimes that is still sitting pretty upon almost half the word that they invaded and stole and its not any jews it is monarchists though.
netanyahu started something only his resignation and demise can end.
they keep him in power to deflect blame but he represents the majority of israelis and their vile ziofascism. nothing would change without him except maybe quell domestic unrest.
vile nazziism with its totalitarian fraudulent “socialism” to deceive the peasantry pleasantly with will be your reward for your ignorant submission to tyrrany in disguise as benevolent philanthropy imo.
such a tool. so arrogant with your fraudulent claims if being a professor so narcissistic with your conceit and your dimwitted pretebsuons to have some military strategic conrprehensuon.
eat sh*t netenyekhoo, the clock is ticking for you and your genocidal colony
liar liar trolopping liar imo. always the same always the opposite, all of you following self confessed satanist saul aliskys rules for radicals play book. hilaries good chum in college.
nurembergs waiting tik tok tik tok putins not anti semitic nors trump nors nato nors president xi. nor are the japanese or asians and the arab nations assisted in establishing israel so wakey wakey.
everyone knows that the rubbish about building temples will never be erased fro the competting factions collective memory by anything but armaggedon
hope the israelis pound the crap out of them and put them in darkness for 20 years. make yemen a 5th world country. give somalis something to think about next time they look at a big boat.
sure you do.
meanwhile the houtis shoot down a third mq9 this week and kindly informed israel that there is much more to come if israel woun’t stop its genocide.
your only option is hoping because you betrayed humanity so you can’t count on pity. nor can you pray to god because you have severely betray your religious treaty.
maybe when you are in hell, you can pray to a burning and crawling satan with not the least might.
the fun loving houthis have the khazar beast squealing like stuck pork and its idiot ussan golem can#t do squat. ain’t karma just peachy as the bunker vermin run for their holes.
bibi promises that there will not be anymore churches, schools and hospitals standing in yemen when he is done!
