Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned the Yemeni Houthis that they “will pay a heavy price” after Israel launched strikes in Yemen in response to a missile attack from the armed group, AFP reports.

“After Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Assad regime in Syria, the Huthis are almost the last remaining arm of Iran’s axis of evil,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “The Houthis are learning and will learn the hard way, that those who strike Israel will pay a very heavy price for it. “
