Getting ready to bomb: IDF releases footage from Houthi operation | WATCH

The IDF released additional footage today (Thursday) from the massive strike against Houthi targets in Yemen, including the international airport in Sana'a and port facilities in Hodeidah.

Defense Minister Israel Katz issued this statement regarding the Houthis:

"The Houthis will suffer heavy blows from Israel if they continue to fire toward us. The IDF is prepared for any mission. I am also warning the Iranian leadership that funds, arms, and operates the Houthi terrorist organization: The proxy method is over and the axis of evil has collapsed. You bear direct responsibility. What we did to Hezbollah in Beirut, to Hamas in Gaza, to Assad in Damascus, and to the Houthis in Yemen - we will also do to you in Tehran."
