Israel Vows to Inflict Biblical Plagues on Yemen’s Houthis

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened to unleash all biblical plagues on the Iran-backed Houthis following their missile and drone attacks supporting Palestinians, escalating regional tensions.

  • On Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed to inflict the biblical ten plagues on Yemen's Houthis and warned Israel would take action to end the fire from increased rocket attacks.
  • Since October 7, 2023, the Houthis have launched repeated drone and missile attacks against Israel and vowed to intensify after their prime minister and 11 senior officials were killed last week.
  • Sirens sounded across central Israel Wednesday as the Israeli Air Force intercepted missiles from Yemen, with explosions heard and fragments found near Jerusalem; the Israeli Defense Forces identified one as a cluster surface-to-surface missile.
  • Security was raised for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, and ministers were told cabinet and ministers' meetings would occur in a secured location following retaliatory strikes in Yemen targeting ports, power stations, and Sanaa's airport.
