Israel issues strongest threat yet against Iran after Houthi attack

Warns it will do to it what it has done to Hamas after attack on Ben Gurion airport

- 

Israel issued its strongest threat yet against Iran yesterday, warning it would do to it what it has done to Hamas in Gaza after an attack on Ben Gurion airport by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

Along with Hezbollah and Hamas, Yemen's Houthi rebels are part of Iran's "axis of resistance" against Israel and its ally the United States.

They claim their repeated attacks on Israel and on shipping in the Red Sea are in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where Hamas sparked a war in October 2023 by launching an unprecedented attack on Israel.
