Houthis promise "eye for an eye" in response to Israeli air strike

Following the IDF strike against Houthi-held Yemen paralyzing the Sana'a airport and the ports of Hodeidah and Mar Isa, Houthi leaders said today (Thursday) that they remain defiant and that "the launches will not stop," according to Kann reporter Roi Kais.

The Houthi political office said that "escalation will be met with escalation without...a withdrawal from our stance" of continuing the attack until the IDF ceases its "aggression" against Gaza and ends its blockade of the same.

The Houthis also said that "our response is coming, Israeli aggression will not pass without consequences. The government, our military and security forces are working in order to protect the Yemenite people."

Houthi senior leader Nasser a-Din Amar said that: "It is our right to respond tooth for tooth and eye for eye for the Israeli attack. We are working to develop our weapons, our missiles and drones succeeded in bypassing the air defense systems. Our actions will continue, we will develop them and we will expand them - we are working unceasingly in this matter. Our launches will not stop."
