Jerusalem, 26 December, 2024 (TPS-IL) -- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday went to the Israel Air Force command and control center together with Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF (Israel Defense Forces) Chief-of-Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi and the Head of the Air Force, Maj.-Gen. Tomer Bar, in order to closely monitor the attack on the terrorist infrastructure of the Houthis in the interior of Yemen and along the western coastal strip.
“This evening we are lighting the second candle of Chanukah. We are in the war of redemption, the Maccabees of our time,” said Netanyahu.
“A short while ago, the Air Force attacked targets of the Houthi terrorist organization in Yemen, both along the coast and in Sana’a. We are determined to cut off this terrorist arm of Iran’s axis of evil. We will persist until we get the job done.”
“We just saw a precise operation by the IAF, as it struck at strategic Houthi targets in Yemen,” said Minister Katz.
