Senior Houthi official Hazam al-Assad threatened revenge on Israel in a poorly translated Hebrew post following Israel’s airstrikes on the Hodeidah port in Yemen and a concrete factory on Monday in response to the Houthis’ attack on Ben Gurion Airport a day earlier.

Al-Assad wrote on X in broken Hebrew that “the Zionist-American attack on the port of Al-Hodeidah and the concrete factory in Bajil is a vile crime that will not go unanswered. The blood of the civilians and workers will be the fuel for a harsh and unequivocal Yemeni response. We will continue to support Gaza with faith and determination and strike deep into the enemy and disrupt its movements until the aggression stops and the siege is lifted. The response will be imminent…painful, and surprising.”

Ynet reported that the Houthis are planning to add a “large target in Haifa” to their target bank.

Since the resumption of Israel’s war in Gaza, the Houthis have fired dozens of missiles at Israel, with all but one intercepted by air defense systems or falling before reaching Israel.

Sunday’s attack was the first time that the Houthis succeeded in striking Ben Gurion Airport, leading to dozens of airlines cancelling their flights to and from Israel.

Meanwhile, senior Houthi official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti told Arab media that the Houthis coordinate every decision with Hamas, and the launch of the ballistic missile at Ben Gurion Airport was at the Gazan terror group’s request.

“We do not regret the attack on Ben Gurion Airport,” he said. “It was a warning attack, and additional attacks will follow.”
