Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the port Israel attacked in Yemen's coastal city of al Hudaydah was 'not an innocent port', during a recorded speech in Tel Aviv on Saturday.
"It was used for military purposes; it was used as an entry point for deadly weapons supplied to the Houthis by Iran. They used this weapon to attack Israel, to attack the countries of the region, to attack an international shipping lane, one of the most important shipping lanes in the world," the prime minister continued.
Houthi-affiliated Yemeni media reported that the airstrikes on al Hudaydah targeted oil storage and refining facilities at the city's port, resulting in a massive fire.
Sanaa's Ministry of Health announced on Saturday that at least three had been killed and another 87 wounded in the strikes.
"Like Hamas and Hezbollah, the Houthis are an integral part of Iran's axis of evil. This axis works not only against Israel, it threatens the peace of the entire world," Netanyahu stated.
"Anyone who wishes to see a stable and safe Middle East should stand against Iran's axis of evil, and support Israel's struggle against Iran and its metastases; both in Yemen, both in Gaza and in Lebanon - everywhere," he added.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree denounced the attack on 'civilian targets', stating that their forces will "not hesitate to strike vital Israeli targets," in response.
This attack comes after Houthi forces launched a drone strike on Tel Aviv on Friday, reportedly killing one and injuring at least 10 others.
Following the attack, Saree declared "the occupied Jaffa region [Tel Aviv] an unsafe area" and added that 'it will be a primary target' for the Yemeni forces.
