For the first time ever, Israel has attacked Yemen hitting the Houthis hard for their first ever attack inside Israel on Tel Aviv.
Israeli jets targeted the Houthi militia in Yemen a day after the Iran-backed group claimed a deadly attack on the Israeli city of Tel Aviv with drones that killed an Israeli and wounded several more.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its fighter jets struck “military targets of the Houthi terrorist regime” in the area of Yemen’s Hodeidah Port in what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said was a direct response to the death of an Israeli in the Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv.
The Houthi-run Al Masirah TV said the Israeli strikes targeted oil facilities in the port on Yemen’s west coast, killing at least three people and injuring 87, most of them with “severe burns.”
A Houthi army spokesperson vowed to respond to the strike, saying the Houthis would not hesitate to strike Israel’s “vital targets” and warning that Tel Aviv was still not safe.
Saying that “We have prepared for a long war with this enemy until the aggression stops and the blockade on the Palestinian people is lifted.”
Netanyahu said in a statement that Hodeidah was “not an innocent port” but that “It was used for military purposes, it was used as an entry point for deadly weapons supplied to the Houthis by Iran,” with Netanyahu adding that Hodeidah had also been used to attack international shipping in the Red Sea.
Netanyahu also said the operation, which hit targets 1,118 miles from Israel’s borders, shows the enemy Israel is serious about responding to threats.
Netanyahu said, “It makes it clear to our enemies that there is no place that the long arm of the state of Israel will not reach.”
An IDF spokesperson said the strikes were also in response to the roughly 200 missiles and drones the Yemeni Houthis have fired towards Israel since October, when Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza began.
The Houthis have also regularly attacked US ships and other commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
The Israeli attack on the Yemen port of Hodeidah targeted oil facilities in the port which exploded into a massive fire whose burning could be seen in the night sky across the Middle East.
Iran slammed the IDF strike on the Houthis in Yemen warning that Israel’s “dangerous adventurism” could spark a dangerous regional war with unpredictable consequences.
The Biblical prophecies (Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, Joel 3) foretell that there will be a multi-front war by the Arabs against Israel in the Last Days signaling the world is nearing the end of this age and the coming of Jesus Christ.
These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3:3-5) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).
