The Houthis in Yemen fired another missile at Israel on Friday, which was Baruch Hashem successfully intercepted by the Arrow 3 missile defense system.
Following the attack, an Israeli security official told Ynet that Israel is not a party to the Houthi-US ceasefire and will continue attacking the Houthis.
“We’ll continue striking the Houthis without any restrictions,” he said. “That deal doesn’t bind us. They’ll pay the price.”
According to the report, Israel plans on carrying out broader and more powerful strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in the coming days.
Israeli security officials also warned that “Iran won’t get off easy,” adding that Israel is weighing possible strikes on Iranian targets.

And what can they do that the US hasn’t been able to do in weeks of non-stop attacks from close range??
Drop the kochi votsem yadi already!!!!
direct attacks against the houthis have their limitations. uncle sam’s bombing campaign hit them with a large number of airstrikes, with only moderate success. and the distance from israel makes an air war technically difficult. so israel needs to find a more effective pressure point, such as the houthi leadership or iran’s oil industry, to persuade them to stop. maybe they could sell them some pagers…
